More and more mental health professionals are discovering the rich tradition of Buddhist psychology and integrating its insights into their work with clients.

Helping ourselves and others to connect with this intrinsic ground of sanity and health is the subject of this collection of teachings, which the author gave to Western psychologists, psychotherapists, and students of Buddhist meditation over a number of years.
