Entering The Mind Audiobook

C von Hassett’s deep dive into the liberating meditative practice of Dzogchen, Entering The Mind — Hassett’s richly insightful and highly accessible book — is newly available in audiobook format. Narrated by acclaimed poet Rachel Reid Wilkie, you can now enter the mind upon a voice so present, so fluent and radiant, that perhaps it alone might lift you into an awakening. The text itself aims for this very occurrence, for its teachings are of a kind that can convey you straight into the Enlightened State – here, where so many of us seek to arrive.

Entering The Mind 3-Part Podcast

Entering The Mind 3-Part Podcast is an intimate discussion on “mind in its natural state” — what the Tibetans refer to as rigpa — and how we as meditators can recognize this already awakened mind within ourselves, then fully realize it through day-to-day practice. But the conversation is so much more than that, for it is an intimate discussion between two intimates — husband and wife duo C von Hassett and Rachel Reid Wilkie, both of whom are practitioner’s of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen, which points the meditation practitioner directly into the fertile interiors of their own mind — not the conceptual mind, which we are all too familiar with. The mind referred to here is the naturally occurring one, the innate mind, or what is known in Dzogchen as “mind in its natural state.” It has been called the awakened mind, or the fully realized one, and not only is this mind within each of us, it is also ever-so close – as close to us as our finger is to touching space. How far must we move our finger to touch space? Our own natural state is this close, and we must only turn inward to first see it, then familiarize ourselves with it, before intimately coming to know it.

The rich discussion in the series below speaks to the key concepts in C von Hassett’s new book, Entering the Mind, excerpts from which can be read here. We hope you enjoy the 3-Part Podcast, and we likewise hope you enjoy the book.
