Summary of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche & Helen Tworkov's In Love with the World

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I wanted to go beyond the relative self, which is the self that identifies with these labels. I knew that even though these social categories play a dominant role in our personal stories, they coexist with a larger reality beyond labels.

#2 When we add wood to the fire, we deliberately bring difficult situations to the forefront so that we can work with them directly. We take the very behaviors or circumstances that we think of as problems and turn them into allies.

#3 When we add wood to the fire, instead of trying to smother the flames of our fears, we add more fuel and gain confidence in our ability to work with any situation. We no longer avoid situations that evoke negative patterns or emotional outbursts.

#4 The experience of awareness recognizing itself is called meditative awareness. It is a gradual process that takes place from dualistic to non-dualistic states, from very cluttered minds to minds that are increasingly liberated from habitual reactivity and preconceptions about how things are supposed to be.
