The Magic of Awareness by Anam Thubten
A Tibetan Buddhist teacher offers guidance on maintaining a state of awareness-demonstrating how enlightenment can be found at any time, in our everyday livesThe paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can't be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thought or mental projections. Pure consciousness is neither high nor low, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad. No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we always have an immediate access to that inner stillness. It can be experienced in an instant in all circumstances once we know how to pay attention to it. It is utterly peaceful and it is also insightful, so it sees through all illusions. Whenever there is a moment of being deluded, we can use that moment to practice settling in the very perfect sphere of the Buddha mind without trying to change anything. When we reside in that liberated mind, we find the very thing we have been seeking all along.
Anam Thubten was born and raised in Tibet, where he received Buddhist teaching in the Nyingma style at a young age. He has been teaching in the West since the 1990s and is the Dharmata Foundation's spiritual consultant and Dharma teacher.
