Gradual Awakening: The Tibetan Buddhist Path of Becoming Fully Human Paperback -

by Miles Neale; Foreword by Geshe Tenzin Zopa


From the publisher

Rediscover the Promise of Enlightenment As Western culture has embraced practices like meditation and yoga, has something been lost in translation? "What we see in America today in both the yoga boom and mindfulness fad," writes Dr. Miles Neale, "is a presentation of technique alone, sanitized and purged of the dynamic teachings in wisdom and ethics that are essential for true liberation." For anyone seeking a path dedicated to both authentic personal growth and the overthrow of the nihilism, hedonism, and materialism that are threatening our planet, this compelling teacher presents a well-conceived, sustainable solution with Gradual Awakening. The core of this book is Tibetan Buddhism's "gradual path"--or Lam Rim--interpreted with fresh insights from modern scientific research. Offering an illuminating new presentation of Tibet's deep psychology, meditative techniques, and virtuous rituals, Dr. Neale presents a time-honored path of enormous transformational potential. Each chapter serves as a practical manual that will allow you to experiment with and actualize the benefits of role-modeling visualization, affirmations, contemplative themes, textual recitation, prayers, altars, offerings, and meditation. Here you'll explore: - Uprooting the "sickness of paradigm"--why a complete spiritual practice must directly confront the fundamental human suffering caused by the modern ethos of scientific reductionism
- The Lam Rim path--the history, heritage, and power of this 30-step "hero's journey" of awakening
- Evolutionary self-care--understanding the Buddhist concept of renunciation as a form of self-love and healing
- Radical altruism--awakening Bodhicitta, our innate aspiration to evolve fully in service to others
- Quantum vision--how the teaching of "emptiness" allows us to pierce the illusion of materialism and accurately perceive the subtlest nature of reality
- Dr. Neale's MAPS process (Maturity, Acceptance, Possibility, and Seeds) to integrate and manifest key insights and skills in your everyday life The mass-market dilutions of Eastern wisdom that focus on symptom relief and easy answers have left behind the ultimate promise of spiritual practice: enlightenment. "Enlightenment is an unfolding process--open to everyone." writes Dr. Neale. For most of us, this path to awakening must be realized through a gradual process: building on incremental insights into who we truly are, learning to care for ourselves and others, and discovering creative ways to engage the problems we all face. Gradual Awakening will serve as a lifelong companion for anyone willing to embrace a new paradigm that integrates science with spirit, theory with practice, and personal meditation with the desire to transform the world. A portion of the proceeds from this book will benefit the Buddhist nuns of Kopan Nunnery in Nepal.
