Sean has mentioned this guy before, but I think he deserves his own thread. Apologies if there's one already.

Basically, he's an arahant, by his own assertion, and reckons it's not that hard to become one too with reasonable dedication and proper instruction. So he's written his "unusually hardcore dharma book", which you can read online here

Suggest you read it all through before you ask him any daft questions (unlike me). He's pretty thorough, and really quite funny.

Best wishes,
Ian

Interesting, thanks Ian!

Love this book. I've read it more than once and plan to read it again.

For a quicker introduction to this teacher, listen to the podcasts he was on here:
Daniel Ingram on FallingFruit.tv

All of them are fantastic. Really sharp, unique dharma guy IMHO.



Sean

Wow. He has very good insights on how to practice successfully. Thanks a lot for the link.

I'm reading this book online, it's very fascinating in delineating in detail, different enlightenment experiences.


Ian, I am also reading the Magus of Strovolus thanks to you. You have a knack of finding good books, methinks.

thankyou.

I'm bumping this up to encourage readership of your link and hopefully talk about it and our experiences a little.


I'll post again when I have read more.

What I really like is how he's so straightforward about what enlightenment of his sort does NOT do.

While I'm waiting for my Aghora 1 & 2 books to arrive (ordered them based on Yoda's book report), I've started reading Daniel Ingram's book. I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but I like what I've read so far. I love his writing style, which makes him wonderfully readable for me.

I've also got the Magus of Strovolos coming. Just finished DMT: The Spirit Molecule.

Lots of good reading ahead. Books are one of my passions (or vices ).

Thanks for the reading tips, Ian. Please let us know of any others!
