{"product_id":"9781608684632","title":"Meditation Saved My Life: A Tibetan Lama and the Healing Power of the Mind","description":"In 2003, Tibetan lama Phakyab Rinpoche was admitted to the emergency clinic of the Program for Survivors of Torture at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital. After a dramatic escape from imprisonment in China, at the hands of authorities bent on uprooting Tibet’s traditional religion and culture, his ordeal had left him with life-threatening injuries, including gangrene of the right ankle. American doctors gave Rinpoche a shocking choice: accept leg amputation or risk a slow, painful death. An inner voice, however, prompted him to try an unconventional cure: meditation. He began an intensive spiritual routine that included thousands of hours of meditation over three years in a small Brooklyn studio. Against all scientific logic, his injuries gradually healed. In this vivid, passionate account, Sofia Stril-Rever relates the extraordinary experiences of Phakyab Rinpoche, who reveals the secret of the great healing powers that lie dormant within each of us.","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134119198960,"sku":"9781608684632","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608684632_p0.jpg?v=1763834957","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608684632","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
