Publisher's Synopsis
ARE YOU FASCINATED by stories of permanent shifts in personal consciousness called "awakening" or "enlightenment"? Written by a trusted American teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, Clearing the Way to Awakening will introduce you to the spirited nine-step practice that nearly every acclaimed enlightened being from Tibet completed. Known as the ngondro, it radically re-orients the practitioner to an inspiring long-term vision, frees them from unconscious limiting karmic patterns, and fills them with positive karmic force that cannot be stopped.
This book addresses:
- Why each step of the practice is crucially important.What each of the nine trainings in it are, and how to work with your skepticism. How you can find excellent spiritual mentors and avoid the bad ones.How to get a taste of each training step of the ngondro process to see if it is for you.How you would do each step of the ngondro practice, and successfully bring this rigorous training program into your daily life.
Whether you are an explorer in human consciousness, or have newly launched into the practice, this book is for you.
YUDRON WANGMO has completed decades of in-depth practice, and was honored with the bestowal of a traditional teaching title-Loppon-and charged with the responsibility to communicate these practices as a living tradition.
