Books of Interest to Lightworkers
In this, the third installment in Lama Das's "Awakening" series, the focus is on the integration of inner and outer practices. The message simply stated is "Life is about relationships – the relationship we have with ourselves, with each other, with the world, as well as the connection to that which is beyond any of us yet imminent in each of us. When our relationships are good, we feel good; when they re bad, we feel awful. Let's accept it" We need each other. We need to feel connected; we need to feel each other's presence and love."
The wisdom of traditional Tibetan Buddhism, from the Eight Steps to Enlightenment to the Six Principles of Enlightened Living is presented in the context of Western living and experience. Lama Das deftly shows how these wisdom teachings can be integrated into life here and now so that it becomes possible to lead an inner-directed spiritual life that influences everything you do, day to day.
It's easy to lose the deep, direct, and vivid sense of living with passion
and originality. Thomas Moore states in his preface that we are "chronically trying
to be someone other than this original self, persuaded that we are not adequate and should
fit some norm of health or correctness, we may find a cool distance may gradually separate
us from the deep and eternal person, that God-given personality, and we may forget both
who we were and who we might be."
