Rahima Baldwin Dancy Early childhood educator and author of You Are Your Child's First Teacher "Playful Wisdom opens wide the doors perception into the new field of behavioral epigenetics, the science of how environment and our perception of the environment are responsible for controlling our genetic activity and health. Michael's parenting studies are particularly relevant given our new understanding that late in life dysfunctions, such as cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, are seeded by environmental influences experienced in infancy."

Playful Wisdom A Farther's Adventure

Michael Mendizza

<p>Always Awakening engages and gives voice to one of the world's most respected Tibetan Buddhists, Samdhong Rinpoche, a distinguished scholar, trusted colleague of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the only one with his background and training who had a personal relationship with Krishnamurti over many years. Michael Mendizza, a documentary filmmaker and author, began his personal relationship with Krishnamurti in the mid 1970's and for the past forty years has recorded over 100 interviews with Krishnamurti and the individuals closest to him. Always Awakening is the synthesis of sixteen hours of candid discussion between Michael and professor Samdhong Rinpoche spanning five years and includes an equal number of quotations from Krishnamurti's collected teachings, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and numerous other sources. This is the most important book on Krishnamurti ever written and I have read them all. Reading slowly, listening quietly I am finding jewels of insight on every page. I understand Krishnamurti more directly and the same can be said of my understanding of Buddhism. James Paul Symphony Conductor, former chair of the Krishnamurti Foundation of America Board of Trustees. This book has been long in the waiting. Samdhong Rinpoche is a rare gem within the Tibetan Buddhist world and perhaps one of the most lucid and original thinkers. His interactions with J. Krishnamurti will remain one of the most prized encounters in the contemporary Indian spiritual and philosophical landscape. A must read. The Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, President and CEO, The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT Always Awakening beautifully interweaves the exquisite harmony of Krishnamurti's mind and the deep affinity for illumination he shared with the Buddhist tradition. Ram Dass Teacher, author of Be Here Now and other works</p>
