Summary of Tenzin Wangyal's The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first step in dream practice is to recognize the great potential that dream has for the spiritual journey. Dreaming is thought to be unreal, but there is nothing more real than dream. #2 Ignorance is the basis of samsara, and the defining characteristic of ordinary beings. It is the ignorance of our true nature and the true nature of the world, and it results in entanglement with the delusions of the dualistic mind. #3 We become attached to even the smallest things, from a particular brand of soap to our hair being cut in a certain fashion.
We develop religions, political systems, philosophies, and sciences. But no one is born with the belief that these things are wrong. #4 The root of our discontent is our innate ignorance and the desire for things to be other than they are. We believe that if we could change our circumstances, we would be happy. But the situation in which we find ourselves is only the secondary cause of our suffering.
