Redundant

Revisado: 04-03-24

It’s the first 4 chapters written over and over, it’s like you told an AI to write a 400 page book based on a few pages.

I don’t think she’s wrong though, learning all the subtle ways of letting go of that pull to want to win all your little conflicts can lead to amazing things. Kind of shocking she didn’t have any other advice than that.

Surprisingly entertaining

Thought I’d learn some cool geological information about an unusual thermal phenomenon, but also went on a wild ride of wise old shaman that’s in communion with the plants, trees, people and probably the galaxy. Still left very curious about this spectacular feature of our planet, hope we learn more. My uneducated money is on an ancient meteor strike.

Getting trapped by mind as it sings you a lullaby of liberation.

My favorite part was when they painstakingly avoided mentioning what the legal troubles keeping him up at night were. So I google it and find that he ran a collections service that was in trouble for harassing people.

Technically amazing.

Revisado: 02-27-23

Usually I roll my eyes reading anything about Tibetan Buddhism written by westerners before 21st century. However, this was a refreshing change. Alexandra knew her shit well enough to know what she didn’t know and was intellectually insatiable to learn as much as she could. I was floored by how good the information on Tibetan Buddhism is. We’re very lucky to have such an amazingly adventurous scholar manage to explore Tibet before the Chinese invasion, and give such a beautiful snapshot of Tibet Buddhism in its own time and place.

Light on character building

Revisado: 12-10-21

Just really didn’t care what happened to anybody in the story. *Spoiler ahead* except for an A.I. introduced towards the end, who was killed off as she was just becoming interesting. Funny that the only character starting to show any kind of personal growth was immediately and unceremoniously written out of the story.

Going on Being the Dzogchen version

Revisado: 11-24-21

Very useful, but it is a lot of various therapy session retellings. If that's your thing, you’ll dig this book a lot. Wish it spent a little more time on technique or pointing out.

Happy I listened.

Loved it.

A funny teaching on Tonglen. If you don't know what Tonglen is, learn. It will change your life (no guarantee). This is a great source to learn Tonglen. If you don't want to spend the money on this particular book, because you aren't sure what Tonglen is. Research it, and then come back and get this book. Or don't. Also check out Pema Chodrons book on Audible.com called Good Medicine.

Rocking...

I've got a lot of audible books on Buddhism. So far this has been my favorite one, and have listened to it numerous times. Lot's of information and told in a very easy way to listen to. The voice they used for Gotama Buddha is now burned into my brain as the voice of Gotama Buddha.

Check it out, it's totally worth it.
