About this listen

 For those who are seeking a path of simplicity, not bound by the trappings of spiritual practice, Adyashanti brings a fresh and humble approach to Zen wisdom. "Don't think that awakening is the end," teaches Adyashanti. "Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature."

Adyashanti's talks are very straightforward and not airy fairy or too mysterious to understand. I find the way he explains concepts using stories, humor and analogies really helps. I enjoyed listening and it gave me alot to ponder and try to implement in my life.
The only negative comment I would make is I would like to see the audible chapters set out the same as the talks. I really want to listen to talk 4 again, but who knows where it is within the audible chapters.

Adyashanti has the gift of conveying deep spiritual truths in a simple, clear, concise and humble way. He provides practical advice on how to realise one-ness and describes many of the pitfalls common to spiritual seekers. There are lots of helpful analogies which make for an engaging and very rewarding dharma talk. This has been one of the most helpful talks I've come across in my understanding and development. Thank you Adyashanti!

Masterful!

I’m not much for critiquing books… Adyashanti is so matter of fact, honest & down to Earth…

I love how you myth bust, Adya… I enjoyed every morsel of this book (and your bedtime story was perfect… tiramisu is my favourite dessert to make!!!)… thank you for all of your insight and thank you both for the interview at the end…

Simply beautiful
