Buddhist teachings on Awakening to our natural intelligence

Fresh and direct Buddhist teachings on how our natural wish to be happy is the best tool we have for true spiritual growth

Light Comes Through explores the mind's intricate relationship with emotions through the lens of Buddhist teachings. Dzigar Kongtr l emphasizes the significance of understanding and cultivating the mind's "natural intelligence," a vital tool for discerning beneficial actions and navigating life's complexities. Natural intelligence enables one to discriminate between what helps or hinders. But most of all, it's the part that searches for happiness and meaning. Dzigar Kongtr l demonstrates how to skillfully use that wish for happiness as a tool in awakening to the joyous wisdom of mind.

The book provides invaluable insight into overcoming the habitual patterns that cloud judgment and hinder personal growth. By engaging with concepts such as shenpa (self-clinging) and lenchak (karmic debt), readers can develop emotional intelligence and cultivate healthier relationships. Kongtr l's teachings encourage a shift from self-centeredness to a mindset that places others at the center, fostering genuine love and care. Filled with wisdom and practical teachings, this book is a call to action for individuals yearning to harness their "natural intelligence" and embrace the transformative power of awareness.

Industry Reviews
"This is a wonderful fresh look at the amazing potential of our human mind."--Pema Choedroen, author of When Things Fall Apart

"There is a comforting bravery in Kongtrul's thinking that clarifies the differences between 'trying to arrange the world according to our preferences' and 'delighting in the way our experience naturally unfolds.' This is a suitably calm and graceful pathway illuminated by a Buddhist master."--Publishers Weekly

"An interesting and refreshing snapshot of Buddhist teachings."--Yoga Magazine (UK)

"Light Comes Through is an inspired, well-written, and creative examination of topics such as faith, romance, developing happiness for others, and facing our own suffering with perspective and compassion. It is a wonderful guidebook for living a very different kind of life."--Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
