“Read this book and be awakened throughout your whole body. The
Practice of Pure Awareness reminds us that every last part of us is
meant for joy, and our whole body is as vast as the
cosmos.”—Adyashanti
“The Practice of Pure Awareness combines the precision and depth of
a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master with the practicality and
accessibility of a true American teacher. Reginald Ray’s guidance
is thorough and utterly sound; from his descriptions of awakened
nature to his finely detailed meditation instruction with the
emphasis on deeply embodied awareness. A student in any meditative
tradition will benefit from Ray’s instruction, encouragement, and
practice.”—Diane Musho Hamilton, author of Everything Is
Workable
“A brilliant synthesis of traditional Vajrayana wisdom and
contemporary somatics teachings, The Practice of Pure Awareness
shows us that the true doorway to the dharma is not through the
endless examination of the contents of the mind but through the
awakening of the felt presence of the body. This is not Buddhism
Lite. It’s Buddhism Essential, and Reginald Ray presents
step-by-step instructions that, taken to heart, can lead you to the
depths of understanding that the historical Buddha insisted was all
of our birthrights.”—Will Johnson, author of Aligned, Relaxed,
Resilient and founder of The Institute for Embodiment Training
“Reginald Ray offers a clear, pragmatic, and systematic guide to
liberation, particularly emphasizing the importance of the body in
its various energy manifestations as a vehicle for ever-deepening
understanding. His long immersion in Tibetan Vajrayana practices
and his many years of experience guiding others has made this work
an invaluable contribution to those walking on the path to greater
freedom.”—Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical
Guide to Awakening
"In this book, Ray presents techniques for opening our eyes or,
more accurately, our bodies, so that we can discover reality as it
is, without ego's distortions."—Lion's Roar
