{"product_id":"9780834824539","title":"It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path","description":"On the spiritual path we speak of enlightenment. But how do we reconcile the idea of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror—when insecurities, doubts, and self-centered tendencies arise in our minds? Dzigar Kongtrül suggests that we need not feel \"doomed\" when these experiences surface. In fact, such experiences are not a problem if we are able to simply let them arise without judging them or investing them with so much meaning. This approach to experience is what Kongtrül calls self-reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelf-reflection is a practice, a path, and an attitude. It is the spirit of taking an interest in that which we usually try to push away. When we practice self-reflection we take liberation into our own hands and accept the challenge and personal empowerment in Kongtrül’s title: it’s up to you.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069949624560,"sku":"9780834824539","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780834824539_p0.jpg?v=1763757892","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780834824539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
