"Beginning Mindfulness" is a structured course of mindfulness study. It is composed of ten sequential sections. Each section presents a practice which develops out of the preceeding one. Each section focuses on both the formal practices of sitting and walking meditation and on the "informal" practice of daily life mindfulness. "Beginning Mindfulness" instructs us in how to establish a mindfulness practice in the reality of daily life. Author Andrew Weiss also brings to the book his experience in the practice traditions of Japanese and Korean Zen and in the practice community of the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. "The forcefulness of Zen in cutting through confused thinking is balanced by the gentle awareness practices of Thich Nhat Hanh in Andrew's presentation of mindfulness," says Mu Soeng, the director of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies. Richard Brady, a mathematics teacher who teaches mindfulness practice to private school teachers and others, has used "Beginning Mindfulness" for years as his core text. Richard says, "Andrew Weiss' book has been a tremendous resource for my students. Its lesseons were easily read and put into practice by newcomers to mindfulness. Experienced practitioners found in them new approaches that expanded their range of practice and insights that deepened their experience of familiar practices."
