The Short Path to Enlightenment, Expanded 2nd edition

This new, expanded edition of our most popular recent title brings forward the importance of joy and love and grace in Short Path practice-with additional meditations and expanded teachings to help readers achieve their goals. These accessible teachings distill the essence of currently popular and traditional sudden-awakening teachings (Advaita, Zen, Dzogchen, etc.). Paul Brunton calls them "Short Path" teachings. A simple recognition, a brief moment of grace, can make what seemed like a far-off spiritual goal actual here and now. But we need reliable pointers for when and how and where to look. Brunton delivers the essence and practices of this path in direct, jargon-free language. Main topics include:

How to move from the Long Path of spiritual disciplines to the Short Path of direct insight Short Path exercises Experiences that may occur Warnings Stages of realization Stabilizing the awakening The nature of lasting enlightenment
