Cutting
Through Fear by Tsultrim Allione
(audio tape) 2 cassettes
$19.95
Within the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism lies a meditation
tradition for facing and dissolving our greatest fears
and attachments in life. Now one of contemporary Buddhisms
most experienced and respected teachers, Tsultrim Allione, adapts
this practice to the challenges unique to our time, on Cutting through
Fear. Based on the traditional Tibetan practice of Chöd (literally
to cut), this method was developed by a legendary Tibetan
yogini, Machig Lapdron, almost 1000 years ago and is practiced within
all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. To this day, Chöd is still
used in Tibet to treat mental and physical illness and as a path
to awareness. On Cutting through Fear, Tsultrim Allione shares the
fascinating history of this practice, and interprets it especially
for Western students of meditation and psychology. Drawing from
root visualization practices, Tsultrim Allione shares a four-step
process that can help you meet and release what the ancient Tibetans
called demons the fears, obsessions, illnesses,
and hopes that can be faced and dissolved with this powerful meditation
technique. We all encounter the demons of addiction, compulsion,
anger, and other difficult emotions, too often as a daily event.
Now we have a rare and useful tool to stop struggling against them,
and instead liberate them, with Cutting through Fear.
