---- His book ---
by Anam Thubten, edited by Sharon
Roe
No Self, No Problem is about how to realize the ultimate
meaning of life in each moment by dissolving all notions of ego
identity. It asks that spiritual seekers wake up to their true
nature, which is already enlightened. Based on the Buddhist wisdom
tradition, this easy-to-read book discusses in simple but profound
and inspiring language how we can live a life full of love,
satisfaction, and happiness.
Anam Thubten, an accomplished Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher,
speaks with clarity, humor, and refreshing honesty as he shares his
own spiritual journey. With profound knowledge and insight into the
human condition, he illuminates the path to enlightenment for those
willing to go to the heart of the matter. In his words,
"True freedom is emancipation from our concepts, from the
psychological veil that is distorting our view of the way things
are. When such freedom is attained, we begin to see that life is
inherently perfect, just as it is, and we end up swimming
effortlessly in an abundance of joy and love. But there is a
universal tendency to believe that we will find what we are
searching for somewhere else. Many people look for freedom through
accumulating either material possessions or spiritual knowledge.
These searches amount to nothing more than a donkey chasing after a
dangled carrot. When we wake up to that truth in this very moment
we realize that what we were seeking was already here. The question
is, "Can we wake up to this truth?" It might be much easier than we
think. Remember, great ancient masters often said that we don't
realize the truth because it is too simple and too close to us.
When we finally realize it, we will be shocked by two things: how
much time we wasted searching and how easy it was after all."
