Dharma Mind Worldly Mind
In 'Dharma Mind Worldly Mind' I show how we can, through our practice, cultivate a Dharma mind – a mind that leads to freedom - rather than a worldly mind which seeks to make the practice just another possession of the self. In the book, the completeness of practice is split into two parts. The first part is understanding the framework that we need to create for change, whilst the second part is describing how we bring that framework once created into life and practice it. 'Dharma Mind Worldly Mind' can be read completely independently from my first book, but reading it in conjunction with 'A Record of Awakening' will enrich and inspire the readers experience. The first book concerns itself mainly with describing the release and wonder of the spiritual journey to our original nature. This new one describes how we make that journey possible.

Without doubt the main
theme of the book is implied in the title. Our approach to the practice of the Dharma must
be quite different from our approach to anything else.
Dharma practice requires a truly revolutionary mind - a mind that embarks upon a spiritual
journey not to gain or become something but rather to surrender and unbecome.
Because we are such conditioned beings to do this by an act of will is quite literally
impossible. Yet, if we are to become free from suffering and break the chain of eternal
rebirth, we must begin to cultivate this revolutionary mind.
