Backdoor to Enlightenment

Za Rinpoche first came to the world's attention when his life story was chronicled in the first chapter of Po Bronson's megabestseller, What Should I Do with My Life? In The Backdoor to Enlightenment, this revered teacher and Tibetan monk discredits common myths about how to grow spiritually and find happiness in our lives. According to Za Rinpoche, there is no need for us to spend a lifetime striving for absolute perfection, an unattainable goal. Instead, we can experience the joy and satisfaction of enlightenment right now, human imperfections and all. Za Rinpoche introduces six qualities--generosity, morality, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom--that all of us must understand and incorporate into our everyday lives in order to live happier, more balanced existences. Blending centuries-old texts with contemporary wisdom, he shows readers of any faith how to use these qualities to bypass the traps and limitations of modern life and achieve lasting peace every day.

While growing up in a refugee camp in Southern India, he was recognized by the Dalai Lama as the sixth reincarnation of the Za Choeje Rinpoche. He is the founder of the Emaho Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona, dedicated to sharing Tibetan culture with the West, supporting humanitarian projects, and assisting with personal spiritual development. Za Rinpoche teaches throughout the world, while maintaining his obligations as the spiritual leader to many monks.

Za Choeje Rinpoche was born in 1968 in India and recognized by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, as the reincarnation of Zachoeje Lama in 1984. The first Zachoeje was the founder of all the 13 Gelugpa Monasteries in the Tehor region of Eastern Tibet, and was seen as the leader, not only spiritually, but also supporting the people and community in many ways. Since then, all of the reincarnates of Zachoeje have continued in his steps by providing for the the needs of the people. Unfortunately, the previous Fifth Zachoeje was arrested by the Chinese Military and held in prison for 4 years and died in 1962.

"It is my goal to continue, as my predecessors have, to provide assistance to the people of Tibet, especially now in these difficult times when the future of Tibetan culture and heritage is on the verge of collapsing." Rinpoche has a foundation
called Emaho which raises funds to help his people.

Ashley wrote the mystery part of this book, which I found fun, while Za wrote the wisdom lessons. A very clever combination. Makes for a great fun read and also has moral and ethical value. Full of Buddhist insights.

"The danger in obedience is that it trains the mind to be lazy. An obedient mind does not react and respond to change; it waits for instruction, permission. By the time an obedient mind responds, the situation has already changed. The obedient mind is always a step behind. Obedient people eventually become powerless to act on their own because they are not accustomed to exercising own power. If they finally do get the opportunity to exercise power, the formerly obedient person can become a tyrant, demanding respoct and compliance from those he or she has managed to subjugate. This is the only order they understand. "

Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind

This review is from: Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind (Audio)

I couldn't stop listening until I finished the tapes. It has changed the way I view myself. As a physicist I can feel her frustration in having experiences which can not be explained by our current reductionist approach. The first step in understanding is having the imagination to reach and the courage to share one's visions. This is why so many physicists ultimately turn into mystics. Compare this audio tape to the "Molecules of Emotion" tape which she made only 3 years ago to see just how far she has evolved personally from her insights. What stronger validation would anyone need? Perhaps you will share in this benefit. Science, too, must evolve in the coming millenium and I believe she is at the forefront...
