The Future of an Illusion Sigmund Freud. Review quote "There is joy in discovering the truth of the Buddhist teachings as a living experience. Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel takes us on a personal exploration of the Buddha's most essential insight: Elizabeth beautifully illuminates the possibility of getting free from the prison of our ideas, by softening into uncertainty and developing real faith. To generations of Western practitioners habituated to linear thinking, the Buddha's central teaching of pratityasamutpada has remained a hidden jewel, taken as either too obvious to be interesting as "everything has a cause" or too arcane to be relevant to real life.

Elizabeth Namgyel not only grasps, but conveys with fresh immediacy and delight the essence of this key to the dharma. She helps us to experience the reciprocity at the heart of the universe--and, in so doing, to rediscover our mutual belonging and the sheer grace of our existence. Elizabeth explores not only faith but also grace, as a person who has relentlessly pursued truth and understanding throughout her entire adult life. As a contemporary American who has devoted herself to the most profound teaching and practices of Tibetan Buddhism, she is uniquely poised to translate esoteric and subtle insights into language that is accessible and inviting.
