Living Awakeness. Embodying Your Awakening - Stephen Snyder

Fully awaken to your potential Buddhahood through the innovative guidance, exercises, and personal reflections of one of contemporary Buddhism's most experienced teachers.

When we deeply experience the Absolute, we are transformed by a profound, life-changing Awakening. But what happens after this realization? How do we embody and sustain it? Buddhist tradition has little to support our ongoing assimilation of these intense experiences-until now.

Stephen Mugen Snyder, Roshi, offers Living Awakeness as the first hands-on guide to name, explore, and practice the qualities of Awakeness, highlighting the path to truly living our Buddha nature. With this book, Snyder lays out the steps for embodying our Awakeness:•the qualities to look for•his experiences with them and Awakening•thought-provoking exercises to integrate those qualities •the roots of Awakeness as the base we're building from•the paths of Awakeness in both the Theravada and Zen traditions

From his first experience of knowing wholeness at three years old to his deep study of Buddhism over fifty years of adulthood, Snyder's spiritual path has laid the groundwork for Living Awakeness's wisdom.

Let this original exploration help you be who you truly are.
