Awakening to the Sacred by Lama Surya Das

brianbbaker's review

5.0

I have read a few books by Lama Das and this book was geared more to someone that was looking for a spiritual path, not necessarily in Buddhism but something that would hold them together in trying times. I liked the way the book was set up and I was surprised to see the section on prayer, something I wasn't expecting. I knew Lama Das was raised Jewish but it never occurred to me that he might still use some of those prayers or others in his daily life.

Among the things I'm taking away from this book are a daily prayer book. I don't pray, because as a Buddhist I never really understood who I should pray to. Lama Das helps with that on his section on prayer.

Learning meditation the Dzogchen way is something I will have to read more on and may have re-read the section.

Thanks again Lama Surya Das for giving me the tools to practice.
