Being Awake. Why is something that sounds so simple the primary goal of many of the world’s great religions and philosophies? Because most of the time we are not. We are mechanically caught in our thoughts and actions, missing the richness of the present moment and the value of our existence. It is only by “waking up” from our habitual states that we can become aware of—and free from—the delusions and illusions that cloud our lives.

CHARLES T. TART, Ph.D. is internationally known for his psychological work on the nature of consciousness, particularly altered states of consciousness. He is Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of many books including Altered States of Consciousness, Transpersonal Psychologies, and Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential.

Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
