It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path
A Buddhism, Nonfiction, Religion book. This is the best book I have read about Buddhism in my life. Granted,...
On the spiritual path we speak of enlightenment. But how do we reconcile the idea of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror—when insecurities, doubts, and self-centered tendencies arise in our minds? Dzigar Kongtrül suggests that we need not feel "doomed" when these experiences surface. In fact, such experiences are not a problem if we are able to simply let them arise without judging them or investing them with so much meaning. This approach to experience is what Kongtrül calls self-reflection.Self-reflection is a practice, a path, and an attitude. It is the spirit of taking an interest in that which we usually try to push away. When we practice self-reflection we take liberation into our own hands and accept the challenge and personal empowerment in Kongtrül’s title: it's up to you.

More About It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path
anyone who comes across this book. This is the best book I have read about Buddhism in my life. Granted, I am still a nascent Buddhist and have a lot more to read, but this book truly spoke to me. It's one of those rare books that actually has the power to change your life and your way of being, and one that I will most certainly re-read. When I first was given this book years ago, I thought it was kind of obvious & trite. Revisiting it recently, it lights up for me. Taking it slow, it is powerful medicine.
