Mastering The Core Teachings Of The Buddha

"Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book "

"Good teachers can help; they are basically a necessity and so are highly recommended, but you must do the work yourself. You must understand, and then you will have to do this again and again. Get used to it, as it can be quite an adventure. It is sometimes hard for people to believe that right there in their experience is what they are looking for. It is right here, right now, in your own experience, in your own heart, mind and body. It is these sensations right now that are just soaked with the truth." - Daniel Ingram, author, MCTB

MY KIND OF KICK *SS DHARMA!

C4Chaos (Reviewer)

I'm currently re-reading my paperback copy of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha by Daniel Ingram. The paperback had just been released in the U.S. but the e-book has been available for free on Ingram's site as PDF download and in "blook" format.

I finished reading the "blook" version on my iPhone but I still purchased the paperback so I can read and re-read it offline. I think this book will be an instant cult classic, especially to those people who are into hardcore, no-nonsense Dharma. Here's my rundown of the contents of the book.

First off, unlike other mainstream politically-correct spiritual authors, Ingram breaks away from political correctness and egalitarianism by claiming he had already achieved arahatship, meaning, that he is already "enlightened." Depending on your notion of "enlightenment" Ingram could either put you off and make you stop reading the book, or it could pique your curiosity and keep you reading. I read the book from cover to cover, and I'm glad I did.

Ingram makes it clear what his intentions are in the opening of the book. He even warned the readers about his social commentaries on Buddhism in particular and mystical traditions and spiritual teachers in general.
