In case you’ve been thinking of buying this book the review below, which I wrote for Amazon, might convince you!
Lotus Source…well what is that???
If you’re drawn towards this book don’t hesitate… buy it!
Then – through inhaling imbibing and digesting, becoming at home
with the rare clarity of the explanations prayers and practices therein –
you’ll find it leads to what you seek.The intellect and observation take us so far in the dharma… but as our hearts and minds open wider this rainbow-bridge appears leading from our deluded assumptions about the nature of our ‘self’ and other ‘things’ towards recognition of the unchanging ground of all.
In the introduction, James explains precisely how our mistaken identifications arise and the consequences of this miss-take.
Really??? Have a look…and you will see!
How liberation from confusion can occur at death or before…and how the Buddhas, here primarily Padmasambhava, function to assist our re-solution and re-alignment – as inseparable from and an expression of buddha.
James was teaching ‘Waking up to Impermanence’ 7/8 May expounding the Mi Tag Gyud Kul prayer that is in this book pp 280-285… currently the book is reduced in price at Blackwell’s bookshop…by £8.31 from £25 to £16.69.
For such a precious and beautiful book this seems an extraordinary bargain……
The teaching was recorded as usual and will shortly be found on his YouTube channel…more in the next post about that.
