With the exception of Todd Rundgren‘s long-awaited “autobiography” and a meditation guide, I devoted the past year to reading and rereading the works of Bhante G. Here’s the list of books I read or reread in 2019:
- Mindfulness in Plain English (Henepola Gunaratana)
- Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English: An Introductory guide to Deeper States of Meditation (Henepola Gunaratana)
- The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English (Henepola Gunaratana)
- The Meditator’s Atlas: A Roadmap to the Inner World (Matthew Flickstein)
- Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness: Walking the Buddha’s Path (Henepola Gunaratana)
- Meditation on Perception: Ten Healing Practices to Cultivate Mindfulness (Henepola Gunaratana)
- The Individualist: Digressions, Dreams & Dissertations (Todd Rundgren)
- Journey to Mindfulness: The Autobiography of Bhante G. (Henepola Gunaratana)
- Loving-Kindness in Plain English: The Practice of Metta (Henepola Gunaratana)
- Buddhist Suttas for Recitation: A Companion for Walking the Buddha’s Path (Henepola Gunaratana)
I’m now halfway through a really good book on the music of the Beatles, but as I will not finish it by the end of the year, that book will appear on next year’s list.
