RATING:
B
I
found the references on karma and omniscience interesting in the
first chapter. I agree that the more we learn from the bad bits of
life the better - we should get rid of it asap rather than have it
come back again and again until we do learn and correct
ourselves!!Gradually learning what needs to be learned - rather than
failing over and over can only be progressive.
The
'Ham-so' breathing exercise reminded me of the deity breathing I have
been working on - the breath goes in and out different places
though...
It was
interesting to observe how far I had got in accepting loss already,
compared to the old me. Unlike a Buddha, who recognizes ALL, I can
only see SOME of the origins of my own karma - however, since taking
he ACI course on karma and personal investigations a few years ago, I
can find the origin of several things that crop up in my life - and
people I formerly knew give me vision-memories of former lives I have
shared with them from time to time.
It was interesting to read the chapter
relative to the Medicine Buddha - as this has been something I have
been working with over the past months. Again, the section referent
to mindfulness meditation was also useful as this I also something I
have worked with a LOT in the past. I am going to work on one of the
exercises given in this book as a refresher. I was also interested to
read the references to birds and nature towards the close of the
book.
