Publisher's summary

This classic teaching by a Tibetan master continues to inspire both beginners and long-time practitioners of Buddhist meditation. Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche shows that meditation extends beyond the formal practice of sitting to build the foundation for compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of life. He explores the six activities associated with meditation in action - generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom - revealing that through simple, direct experience, one can attain real wisdom: the ability to see clearly into situations and deal with them skillfully, without the self-consciousness connected with ego.

Insightful

I've heard it 4 times and I get something from it each time. Just go with the flow. Lose our mind gain our senses. Stop using our mind and trust and use your senses.

Must read for anyone interested in spiritual development

Must read for anyone interested in spiritual development. It is written without the marketing hype, instead full of mini stories and paralalism, to help the reader not only understanding the point, but connecting to the point in such a way that one remembers better the 'why' part. Highly recommended.

Brilliant perspective on meditation

Fantastic writing on meditation from a Tibetan Saint. He masterfully illuminate a light in the concept of self which separates one from unity. And how various efforts even so carefully guised as spiritual undertaking separates us and strengthen the concept of self.

Great content, dull narration.

The content is great. The delivery was ok. It's a short audiobook. Three more words.

Deathless Emptiness

Incredible. This is no longer an audiobook but a tool. There are no words to describe its utility.

Great suggestion from a great teacher

At times the reader trips over words or reapeats, but it doesn't get between you and the message of awakening.
