Buddha's Gift to the World: A Practitioner's Guide to the Roots of Mindfulness by Martina Draszczyk

The Buddha’s Gift to the World by Martina Draszczyk explores the roots of mindfulness through Indian and Tibetan Mahayana sources. Buddhist discourses and later treatises provide a context for understanding mindfulness beyond contemporary relaxation techniques.

The book brings scholarship and practice together, comparing Mahayana and Theravada perspectives and considering modern secular applications. It also includes a teaching on the fourfold application of mindfulness by the Fourteenth Shamar Rinpoche.
