The Buddhist practice of mind training gives us the answer to these questions: it involves overcoming our self-centered attitude and replacing it with an attitude that cherishes others. This, in turn, leads us to act in ways that naturally lead away from suffering and toward happiness—in short, to create good karma.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.

My budding career as a literary scholar was suddenly hijacked by a singular seemingly random event. It was 1976 when I tiptoed into a tiny Buddhist shrine room in a farmhouse nestled into the Black Mountains of Wales and there beheld a Tibetan master, the 16th Karmapa. That glimpse into the enlightened mind became embedded like a seed and grew into a quest over the next decades to find the key places on our planet called the Hidden Lands. Why did it take decades to get there? What made the right ingredients emerge to penetrate this sacred sanctuary? And who hid it and why?
