Summary

The paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can't be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thought or mental projections. Pure consciousness is neither high nor low, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad. No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we always have an immediate access to that inner stillness. It can be experienced in an instant in all circumstances once we know how to pay attention to it. It is utterly peaceful and it is also insightful, so it sees through all illusions. Whenever there is a moment of being deluded, we can use that moment to practice settling in the very perfect sphere of the Buddha mind without trying to change anything. When we reside in that liberated mind, we find the very thing we have been seeking all along.

Magic?

Would you ever listen to anything by Anam Thubten and Sharon Roe again?

No

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Irritation

Any additional comments?

I've tried several times to get into this book but each time I remember why I gave up previous times. It makes me feel like I'm being reprimanded, the tone is patriarchal and pompous.

Snake oil

Absolutely nonsense tied up in religion. Yes, mediation and mindfulness can help you in your life. Just doesn't need to be dressed up with spirituality to make it work.

Very good

I also listened No Self, No Priblem. Both are very good. Overall, the message is quite simple and refreshing. Humour comes across and it is an enjoyable listen. Good engaging narration. I must have listened to it about five times already, which says something for it! Maybe that I still don't get it?! Together with No Self, No Problem, my best purchases on Audible. Thanks to the author!

Well narrated.

Reader is animated and very good, but book content not for me. Possibly for others though.

Fantastic

Enlightening. It states the same message in many different ways, which is helpful in being flexible about the core message
