Obesity ?
93% of the cases of fat people and obesity comes from the genes. It is hereditary.
Scientists are very close to discovering the Fat and Obese gene, and will soon find a permanent cure for this !!
Even "The Buddha" yes was fat. But for him too, it was in his genetic makeup. He inherited this gene from his parents. Although, he was one of the very few people in history that overcome this gene. He went on a 7 year fast from food, in hopes of more quickly getting rid of all his negative defilements(impatience, anger, intolerance, etc.) but he came to the realization that this happens through Mindfulness Meditation, not through starving himself !
He did through his 7 years fast, lost over 385 pounds. That is why many see statues of a Fat Buddha and also see statues of a more healthy Buddha, thinner, wholesome and healthier physically. The last two-thirds of his life he was thin and healthy.

I use to be 268 lbs.thru Southbeach Diet lost I 168 pounds & exercise 1 hr day!

Meditation" By: Arinna Weisman and Jean Smith ?

It is from a Theravada Buddhist Perspective.
Quite excellent reading, teaches Loving-kindness
Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, and Insight Meditation, (the hindrances to meditation) Teaches the Middle Way {Eightfold Path), the Divine abodes, and so much more interesting information.

Was just curious if anyone has read, studied (and practices these teachings of Siddhartha Gautama) ?

I lost the directions on how to wind it so it chimes the correct amount of chimes for the appropriate time.
I’m sorry I wrote the question the wrong way. It is battery run, but there is detailed steps to go through to get it to chime correctly. Ireceived it as a gift in 2001 and unfortunaley lost those directions. It was purchased at Things Remembered. They don’t the directions either.

He is the author of "Mindfulness for beginners", and "Coming to our senses: healing ourselves and the world through mindfulness.", and "Everyday blessings: the inner work of mindful parenting.", and "Mindfulness Meditation audio book (2 CD’s)" which are excellent books for learning to develop inner peace, becoming a successful non-judgemental parent, and basically walking/living everyday in true happiness !!!

In the last 2 months, I picked up these books (& audio book), and they honestly really help one to self-transform there life!

They are simply excellent reading, even if a person is not interested in self-help or anything like that.

It is excellent information for people that wish to help loved ones and friends as well.

Avid readers out there, check it out.

The author is a doctor in the state of Mass. and a writer, and has his PhD.
