Download It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path AudioBook Free
On the religious path we speak of enlightenment. But just how do we reconcile the thought of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror - when insecurities, questions, and self-centered tendencies come up in our thoughts? Dzigar Kongtrül shows that we need not feel "doomed" when these experience surface. In fact, such experiences aren't problems if we're able to simply let them come up without judging them or committing them with a whole lot meaning. This approach to experience is exactly what Kongtrül calls self-reflection. Self-reflection is a practice, a course, and an attitude. It's the heart of taking a pastime in that which we usually try to push away. Whenever we practice self-reflection we take liberation into our very own hands and agree to the challenge and personal empowerment in Kongtrül's title: it's up to you.
