Product Description
Everyone dreams of a better life. All the things you’ve ever wanted — happiness, loving relationships, well-being, abundance, and peace of mind — are all qualities of enlightenment, a way of embracing our fullest potential that seemed unavailable to us, until now.
For thousands of years, the secret to enlightenment has remained hidden in the distant reaches of the Himalayas, deep in wisdom impenetrable to all but the most dedicated seekers. For the first time in history, The Backdoor to Enlightenment burns the rules and barriers that have hindered our understanding and reveals the keys to immediate, profound realization to the rest of the world. Blending centuries-old texts with contemporary wisdom, readers of any faith can bypass the traps and limitations of modern life and achieve lasting peace every day.
More than just a heartfelt story of mystery and discovery, this revolutionary work stands out as a smart, clear guide, showing step-by-step how you can use these astonishing truths to transform every aspect of your life. There might not be a shortcut to your dreams, but there is a Backdoor!
The Backdoor to Enlightenment: Eight Steps to Living Your Dreams and Changing Your World
Everyday we struggle to get through our unending list of to-do’s, work and family obligations and stresses. It is always a challenge to find a way to incorporate eastern ideas of harmony and happiness into everyday life. The surprising discovery process of the main characters, the clear and authentic commentary, and the “take home message” bullet points at the end of each chapter truly make this a companion for reference on how to deal with every situation with more awareness, joy, and compassion. The mastery of Buddhist ideas and the engaging narrative in this book enforce the serendipitous collaboration of Za Rinpoche and Ashley Nebelsieck and provide profound and practical advice to reach our full potential to be happy and enjoy our lives with great purpose.

So I opened the book and then even though the phones rang and clock
ticked, I couldn’t put it down. That simple every day things we know but don’t pay much attention to, can be pointed out in a fun mystery is a treasure. They say only a master can make the most difficult easy. There were moments when the ordinary fog lifted and I found delight. I found hope and had a great read. Should have five stars and then given some kind of ribbon for inspiration.
My granddaughter, daughter and mother-in-law will all enjoy it, something that spans the generations. For heaven sakes, read it, have fun, find happiness.

Za Rinpoche and Ashley Nebelsieck write well in tandem to explain the basic Buddhist concepts of the Six Perfections and explain to the common reader how to seek happiness and enlightenment in their lives right now. Nebelsieck’s engaging fiction, and Za Rinpoche’s diamond-like wisdom and clarity provide a call-and-response effect that allows the reader to experience the journey of the central characters, and then apply those same lessons into their own life. A must-read for those seeking to break free from their self-imposed conceptions, and for those caught up in the mundane and the everyday of their lives. Za Rinpoche and Ms. Nebelsieck are the Johnny and June Carter Cash of the Middle Way – spiritual outlaws who break the rules for deliverance (of other sentient beings). Get the book!

It is hard to describe in a few words how wonderful this book is. I am a practicing psychiatrist, and throughout the course of the week I often hear someone say ” I want more self esteem”, self worth. We hear this often from many people. This book describes how we already have the qualities that we are looking for, and how we can realize this. It is written in a very clear and understandable way, which then makes it easy to apply it to our every day life. It helps us not to be so discouraged with life when we can see that we already have what we have been looking for, something that will really make us happy. I think this book is for every one whether you identify yourself as a spiritual seeker or not. I would just like to say thank you to Za Rinpoche and Ashley Nebelsieck.
