Required Texts:

Gradual Awakening by Dr. Miles Neale

Please note: You might enjoy listening to Dr. Neale's book on Audible. While the chapters numbers do not exactly correspond with the chapter numbers in the written text, a lot of meaning is conveyed hearing Dr. Neale's voice.

Optional Texts:

Any version of the Yoga Sutras by Master Patanjali. Three recommended versions are:

• Yoga: Discipline of Freedom by Barbara Stoler Miller. This is an excellent, concise, scholarly presentation of Yoga with reference to Buddhist teachings.

• The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Swami Satchidananda. This much-relied upon version contains the Sanskrit translation, and is probably easier to digest than the other (more academic) versions.

• The Textbook of Yoga Psychology by Ramamurti S. Mishra, M.D. (also known as Shri Bramananada Saraswati). This investment is for the serious student of Sanskrit and Yoga philosophy.

• A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by Master Shantideva. Steven Batchelor's translation is accesible via a free PDF.

Becoming Bodhisattvas by Pema Chodron provides a personable journey through this classic.
