This Friday, October 17, A Buddhist Path to Joy: The New Middle Way Expanded Edition, becomes available in paperback and eBook format from Amazon and other online retailers worldwide. You can expect the self-narrated audiobook in November. I’ve quietly released the Kindle version on Amazon two days in advance, so you can buy it now at the $2.99 pre-publication price and start reading right away.

To celebrate the publication date, I’m releasing Chapter 34 for free. As I appoached the end of the book, I added this deeper dive into one tradition than I offer in the earlier chapters. It’s a brief overview of the Mahamudra practice, beginning with a bit about Buddhism’s arrival in Tibet. Here’s the text and my narration as it will sound in the audiobook.
