Adyashanti began teaching in 1996 after a series of transformative spiritual awakenings. Today, his retreats are so popular that would-be attendees must win a lottery held only twice a year. Adya s teachings have been compared to some of the early Ch an (Zen) masters of China as well as teachers of Advaita Vedanta in India. A resident of California, his books include The End of Your World (Sounds True, 2009) and True Meditation (Sounds True, 2006). For more information, please visit adyashanti.org.
Adyashanti affirms that we make the journey to realization not by separating from the relative reality of our everyday lives, but precisely by developing an attitude of complete acceptance and openness toward all situations and emotions and all the people we encounter. --Reginald A. Ray Author of Touching Enlightenment Falling Into Grace is a dazzling, clear, profound book-a cool drink of water for thirsty hearts everywhere. --Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food, God The path to enlightenment today is cluttered with concepts: Adyashanti cuts through them with a sword so merciless and tender that only space remains. --Meg Lundstrom, author of What to Do When You Can't Decide Adyashanti's teachings point us toward what we most yearn for: realizing and embodying the love and awareness that is our natural state. Falling Into Grace is wonderfully lucid, simple, and powerful. It will remind you to stop the struggle and to relax back into what you already are. --Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance One of the best explanations of mindfulness I have ever come across. --Janice Long (Amazon review)
