Title: Enlightenment is an Accident: Ancient Wisdom & Simple Practices to Make You Accident Prone Author: Tim Burkett Narrator: Kyle Tait Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 6 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Genres: Mindfulness & Meditation Publisher's Summary: A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment—the realization of non-self—can't be achieved by the self. A well-known spiritual saying goes, 'Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone.' As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.
