About this ebook
We're all given the same twenty-four hours a day.We can spend our time feeling hurried and harried, overwhelmed by chores and demands, distracted and burned out . . . or we can awaken to BuddhaStandard Time, the realm of timelessness where every choice, every action, and every breath can be one of renewal and infinite possibilities.
Buddha Standard Time shares one of the great realizations of Buddhism, an insight that anyone can learn to apply. The minutes and hours of our days do not simply march from future to present to past. Rather, each moment is intersected by a fourth dimension. By learning to live in this dimension—Buddha StandardTime—we reduce the amount of stress in our lives and find greater focus, fulfillment, creativity, and even wisdom.
Drawing on Tibetan Buddhism and other great wisdom traditions, as well as on neuroscience and holistic traditions, renowned teacher and national bestselling author Lama Surya Das shares real world examples, practical exercises, and essential techniques.
The pace and pressure of today's world feels relentless.That is why, now more than ever, we need the ancient wisdom contained in Buddha StandardTime. Far from being at the mercy of time's demands, we will finally realize that we have, in fact, all the time in the world.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The message in this book is overwhelmingly important, as far as quality of life is concerned. We CAN befriend the TIME in a variety of ways... It's crucial that we get reminded of it through books like this one...
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When I first ordered this book I expected more of a focus on meditation. While meditation is part of the book it comes across more as a time management book. Lama Surya Das gives good examples of how meditation can benefit one's life. It is a good book even if it is more business like that I prefer.
