Synopsis

After a long break from writing, Darryl returns with an unsparingly honest account of his own journey, from the confusion of teenage spirituality, through years of intense practice and contact with teachers—and working to earn a living in many countries. Darryl tells of his experiences of being an international ‘teacher’: how he reacted to the projections and requests for a formula for living, his own realisations and his current gently dynamic approach.

Darryl’s journey through searching, realisations, disillusionments and what came after has led him to a new, fresh and clear perspective. He invites us to explore our own experience, pointing to what most people overlook or ignore, asking some essential questions and considering some surprising answers.

Spontaneously drawn to meditation at age fourteen, Darryl spent the next 17 years exploring awareness and concentration within Eastern and Western traditions. He then spent 9 years with mindfulness teacher Ruth Denison and another 6 years as a meditation monk in the Thai Forest Tradition, under the guidance of Ajahn Sumedho.

Darryl now works with a simple yet profound approach: a very gentle but constant consideration of our common experience.

Darryl is the author of three other books, Dismantling the Fantasy, Essence Revisited and Buddhessence.
