Clearing the Way to Awakening

A Nine-Step Practice from Tibetan Buddhism

By: Yudron Wangmo

Narrated by: Yudron Wangmo

ARE YOU FASCINATED by stories of permanent shifts in personal consciousness called "awakening" or "enlightenment"? Written by a trusted American teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, Clearing the Way to Awakening will introduce you to the spirited nine-step practice that nearly every acclaimed enlightened being from Tibet completed. Known as the ngondro, it radically re-orients the practitioner to an inspiring long-term vision, frees them from unconscious limiting karmic patterns, and fills them with positive karmic force that cannot be stopped.

This book addresses:

• Why each step of the practice is crucially important.
• What each of the nine trainings in it are, and how to work with your skepticism.
• How you can find excellent spiritual mentors and avoid the bad ones.
• How to get a taste of each training step of the ngondro process to see if it is for you.
• How you would do each step of the ngondro practice, and successfully bring this rigorous training program into your daily life.

Whether you are an explorer in human consciousness, or have newly launched into the practice, this book is for you.

YUDRON WANGMO has completed decades of in-depth practice, and was honored with the bestowal of a traditional teaching title—Loppon—and charged with the responsibility to communicate these practices as a living tradition.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"This is quite a wonderful book on the nine steps of ngondro practice. It is well and engagingly written. It is easy to read, accurate, and encouraging, making it ideal for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners, whether beginners or longtime practitioners who wish to reinvigorate their practice." - Jan Willis, author of Dreaming Me: Black, Baptist, and Buddhist and Dharma Matters: Women, Race, and Tantra.

Very informative

I have been enjoying this wonderful book that contains so much information for anyone considering Nöngdro or even for those who are more advanced practitioners. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.

Everything is to the point without getting bogged down in unnecessary information. There are wonderful resources included as well.

Lastly, I’m really enjoying the narration. A very easy listen and her voice is so calming. That’s a big plus.
