Kindly Bent to Ease Us

I have been reading wonderful books that help lead one to true emancipation, enlightenment, and self-acutalization. Tibetan Buddhism expresses many sound psychological and personal paths to a life and death in peace.This book, written by Longchenpa and translated by Herbert V. Guenther, is an excellent guide along the path of enlightenment introducing to us the mind of meditation. A few lines give you a tiny taste of what is in store for you: You are an individual who has become the site for the realization of limpid clearness and consummate perspicacity ... The main body is about pure awareness, encountered in the experience of Being by means of meditation involving pleasure, radiance, and non-dividedness. As sheer lucency, a pristine cognitiveness, defying any propositions about it; it rises in naturalness and togetherness.I invite you to read each word; each word is most important; the message comes easy to the expansive mind.
