The Power of an Open Question by Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel
A bold, playful, and invigorating look at how asking challenging questions--without expectations--can lead Buddhist practitioners to powerful spiritual insights (Pema Ch dr n) How do we find a resting place in a world that is complex and always changing? How do we practice spirituality beyond the limits of blind acceptance and doubt? Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel proposes that when we ask challenging questions like these, we access our deepest intelligence and most powerful insights. When we ask a question, Mattis-Namgyel suggests, our mind is engaged yet open. The process of inquiry protects us from our tendency to reach static conclusions. Instead, we can respond to uncertainty and change with inquisitiveness and a sense of wonder. By telling the story of the Buddha's awakening, Mattis-Namgyel shows us that by contemplating hard questions--and by not simply rejecting seeming contradictions in his experience--the Buddha became enlightened. Her book guides us on a provocative, playful, and spiritually enriching journey of contemplation that could last a lifetime.
ELIZABETH MATTIS NAMGYEL is the wife and a principal student of Tibetan Buddhist master Dzigar Kongtrü¾˜¶˜¼l and the editor of two of his books (It's Up to You and Light Comes Through). She has studied and practiced in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for more than thirty years under his guidance and completed years of solitary retreat. As a Buddhist teacher, she leads weekend retreats throughout the United States and Europe.
