The Path to Awakening by Shamar Rinpoche

Please join us for a talk and book signing with Shamar Rinpoche, author of the new book THE PATH TO AWAKENING: How Buddhism’s Seven Points of Mind Training Can Lead You to a Life of Enlightenment and Happiness.

Shamar Rinpoche provides readers with a simple guide to living a fulfilling life as a Buddhist, as well as a comprehensive manual of mediation techniques. This type of meditation or mind training (lojong) is suitable for all types of students and age groups whether or not you practice the teachings of Buddhism. The PATH TO AWAKENING provides readers with practical wisdom, philosophy, and meditation instructions on how the mind, not the brain, works. Put into practice, it is enough to lead you all the way to awakening

Shamar Rinpoche was recognized as a reincarnation of the Shampara by the 16th Karmapa, and confirmed by the 14th Dalai Lama. The Shamarpa lineage is the second-oldest reincarnate lineage in Tibetan Buddhism and dates back to the 13th century.
