THE PATH TO NIBBANA by David Johnson
July, 2020
"Friend David Johnson, I love your book! I've read most of the books commonly recommended in Western sanghas (The Mind Illuminated, Right Concentration, Seeing That Frees, Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, What the Buddha Taught etc.). These are all wonderful works, but yours is by far the best in comprehensively describing all the higher mind states - all the jhanas, all the Paths. It really shines through that you've experienced these states and aren't just providing some terse academic description of them. I also love how you're unapologetically Buddhist and don't try to secularize/whitewash the Dhamma. Thank you!! I've purchased the digital copy off Amazon, and two physical copies for my teacher (Tucker Peck AKA Upasaka Mahanama) and myself (that's me, smiling in the picture)! Metta, Balint Farkas AKA Upasaka Nanda" NEW BOOK ON TWIM - CHECK IT OUT! 500 PAGES of references and student experiences! By Mark Edsel Johnson PhD.

From an Online Retreat
- "I found your delineation of the 6 Rs practicing wholesome and unwholesome mind states to be very beneficial. When unwholesome mind states arose, I practised letting go and relaxing. It was interesting to notice the arising of joy when this happened. This brought a different understanding of ‘joy arising from withdrawal'."

Smiling Proven!
This new study says that smiling really can make people feel happier – even if they’re feeling stressed.
The paper, which was co-authored by Heather Lench at Texas A&M University and researchers at the University of Tennessee, looked at nearly 50 years of data testing whether posing facial expressions can lead people to feel the emotions related to those expressions.
“These findings address a critical question about the links between our internal experience and our bodies – whether changing our facial expression can alter the emotions we feel and our emotional response to the world,” Lench said.
