Gradual Awakening: The Tibetan Buddhist Path of Becoming Fully Human by Miles Neale
5.0
I know, this might look a bit too intense for some, but just read my thoughts first before passing on this one!!
I've been interest into Buddhism for over a decade now, fifteen years might be more accurate, more or less intensively but always into it. I read about it, try to introduce it into my life, because for me this is way closer to a philosophy than religion. This is a way of life and being 33 years old now, I realize that a bunch of the best things that have happen in my life, were in some way related to those principles that I try to live by. So I've been willing to take it to another level for some time and this book was the tool I needed to do so.
Maybe a bit dense for beginners, but amateurs who have a good basic knowledge and want to dig a bit more will find something to think about here. It takes you on into more precise way to live by Buddhism standard, take you into a more deep reflexion about meditation and guide you on how to do it better. It seems to me that meditation have become more and more popular, but people just do it in a relaxing way, which is fine if that's just what you need, but if you want to deep dive into meditation you might need more help, more guidance, and this book is there for it.
Good step by step guide, easy to understand and follow, a lot of thoughts and thinking materials, good Buddhism source, reference and knowledge share through those lines and a book I will reread, maybe not cover to cover again, but use it as a reference book to go back into from time to time to «readjust myself».
This is the book I was looking for for quite some times! And of course when you read it, some might seem a bit overwhelming, but you don't have to bring it all on your life automatically. i sure take a lot, but I left some too, might bring it in some years, if I want to commit even more to it.
Take some or leave some, there sure is a lot to help you, maybe not awaken instantly, but maybe have a time of introspection and taking the time to rethink your life and how, and why, you want to life it!
I highly recommend it if the subject is of some interest to you!!
