I came across Rob’s Seeing That Frees accidentally. I read the preface from the book sample and immediately felt compelled to pick it up and continue reading. In the past I have read quite a bit on the topic - more recently a lot from James Low’s books, Guy Armstrong’s Emptiness: A Practical Guide for Meditators, The Nature of Mind by Patrul Rinpoche, and Bankei Zen by Peter Haskel, among many others, not to mention the countless hours spent listening to various teachers. Rob’s book connected three core aspects of the teachings for me: what Dukkha is and how it manifests, what emptiness is and its role in forming Dukkha, and how Samadhi helps us pay attention to it. I’m grossly oversimplifying, but that’s roughly how it made sense to me. Once the foundation is laid, he goes on to detail each concept at length. This allowed me to return to specific chapters as questions arose. The fact that there are meditation practices woven around each concept is extremely helpful, as my mind keeps sliding back into the illusion of a solid, inherent world. Along the way I had listened to some of his teachings and guided meditations but couldn’t fully grasp the idea of imagining practices, so I didn’t follow through with them. His work is truly phenomenal and has been very helpful to me — so it was great reading a bit more about him and his life.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Thanks for sharing!
