Few people doubt the veracity of those whose assertions are the most voluble and widely quoted. This is why trite spiritual clichés and hackneyed spiritual jargon are so popular. - Tracts of the Sun

Ignorance—as a Buddhist term—is misunderstood. It is not lack of knowledge – it is not wanting to know. - Tracts of the Sun

Ignorance—as a Buddhist term—is misunderstood. It is not lack of knowledge – but ignor-ance. Ignor-ance is not wanting to know – it is ignoring, which includes: disregarding, overlooking, discounting, declining, rebuffing, rejecting, repulsing, spurning, and disallowing.

Travelling at the Speed of Mind’ explores the teachings illustrated by the Buddhist Wheel of Cyclic Existence.

Each chapter is a conversation between Ngakma Nor'dzin, her husband Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin, and a student.

The cycle of the 12 interdependent links; the qualities of the six realms of rebirth; the result of the recurring patterns of perception and response which are created by attraction, aversion or indifference; are all examined in detail.

The text is illustrated with images taken from a commissioned Wheel of Life thangka.

Ngakma Nor’dzin, an award winning author, presents a lively and insightful discussion, which leaves the reader in no doubt about the immediate need to address confusion, and the ever-present possibility of liberation.

We cannot express this awareness in words – and there is nothing with which to compare it, in terms of description. - Tracts of the Sun

“We cannot express this awareness in words – and there is nothing with which to compare it, in terms of description. It is not the mundane condition of emotional turmoil and conflicted thoughts – but neither is it the emptiness that is the cessation known as nirvana.”
