The modern world has been incredibly successful at producing material wealth, scientific knowledge, and technological innovation. But all these advances have not led to corresponding improvements in our psychological well-being, social harmony, spiritual wealth, or the health of this planet. With his upcoming book titled Into the Mirror, Andy shows that remedies for these problems can be found within the profound insights of Mahayana Buddhism. Andy Karr doesn’t like to talk about himself very much, but he does talk and write about Buddhist teachings, particularly the profound paths of the Mahayana and Mahamudra. He is the author of Contemplating Reality, an experiential guide to Buddhist philosophy (Shambhala Publications, 2007) and co-author of The Practice of Contemplative Photography: Seeing the world with fresh eyes (Shambhala Publications, 2011). His latest book, Into The Mirror: A buddhist journey through mind, matter, and the nature of reality will be published by Shambhala in May, 2023. He spoke with students at RYI and online participants on the 20th February 2023.
