Tales of Awakening - David Berry

Tales of Awakening gathers stories from over 60 students of interactions they had with their meditation teacher, Namgyal Rinpoche while in a class or traveling around the world. The book gives a sense of the teachings they received and what they derived from them. There is great diversity in viewpoint, realization before and after the interactions and in the signal the Teacher sent to each student in that moment in their lives. In the sum of the various stories, teachings and quotes the essence of this book emerges. The book is part of a living transmission. Several authors who share in these pages are also teachers. Centers in many countries around the world and books by Namgyal Rinpoche are listed in appendices.
