Description: These teachings distill the essence of sudden-awakening teachings (Advaita, Zen, Dzogchen, etc.). Paul Brunton calls them "Short Path" teachings. A simple recognition, a brief moment of grace, can make what seems like a far-off spiritual goal actual here and now. But we need reliable pointers for when and how and where to look. Brunton delivers the essence and practices of this path in direct, jargon-free language. -- from back cover

In transparent, jargon-free language, Paul Brunton makes truly accessible the essence of modern and traditional sudden-awakening teachings (Advaita, Zen, Dzogchen, Mahamudra, etc.,). He calls them "Short Path" teachings: A simple recognition, a brief moment of grace, can make what seemed like a far-off spiritual goal actual here and now. This book abounds with inspiring, reliable pointers for how to cultivate these moments.

not for me. Found this very difficult to read, and all theory, without any concrete instructions. After the first couple chapters I skimmed, so I might have missed the instructions, it was just all theory, theory, theory.
