Into the Mirror is a call to cultivate wisdom and compassion—right within this world of illusion—and an insightful challenge to the rampant materialism of modernity. Andy Karr presents accessible and powerful methods to accomplish this through investigating the way our minds construct our worlds.
Combining contemporary Western inquiries with classical Buddhist investigations into the nature of mind, Karr invites the reader to make a personal, experiential journey through study, contemplation, and meditation. He presents a series of contemplative practices from Mahayana Buddhism, starting with the Middle Way teachings on emptiness and interdependence, through Yogachara’s subtle understanding of nonduality, to the view that buddha nature is already within us to be revealed rather than something external to be acquired.
Andy Karr is a teacher, author, and photographer who offers profound and penetrating insights into dharma and mind. He trained at the San Francisco Zen Center under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and under Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Andy cofounded the first Shambhala Centre in France and taught regularly in Paris and other European Dharma centers for ten years. Andy is the author of Into the Mirror and Contemplating Reality and the coauthor of The Practice of Contemplative Photography. Andy mainly teaches the Mahayana view and meditation, and Mahamudra.
