MASTER OF ANCIENT MYSTICISM, MARK GRIFFIN,
REVEALS SECRETS TO ENLIGHTENMENT IN HIS FIRST BOOK
"108 DISCOURSES ON AWAKENING"
The Ultimate "Cliffs Notes" For a Meaningful Spiritual Life,
Due in Bookstores, November 15, 2004
Los Angeles, California, October 15, 2004 - Only one of a handful of true western spiritual masters, Mark Griffin, reveals the hidden secrets of enlightenment in a manner that westerners can easily grasp and use in his first book, "108 Discourses on Awakening." In this 148-page mystical primer, Griffin lays out the process of enlightenment in a simple day-by-day format that can be enjoyed over an auspicious 108-day period. Published by Llumina Books, "108 Discourses on Awakening," (ISBN: 0-9759020-0-8) will be available in paperback November 15, 2004 and retails for $12.95.
New York Times freelance journalist Eric Hiss says in the foreword of "108 Discourses on Awakening," Griffin uses everything from Bugs Bunny to computer analogies to explore and explain the metaphysics of awakening to our true selves. Griffin speaks to the Western soul who may feel the lexicon of Eastern deities and disciplines too foreign and forbidding to broach. By deftly bringing these concepts onto familiar soil, he teaches us these dynamics are truly universal and open to every one of us."
In "108 Discourses on Awakening," Griffin discusses everything from the connections between karma and desire, challenge and purification, to the architecture of awakening in this lifetime in America. He breaks down a lifetime of teachings into seven succinct chapters which include: The Spiritual Journey, Sadhana, God, The Guru, Divine Fire, The Human Form and Awakening,
The antithesis of a spiritual dilettante prattling on about the wonders of nature, Griffin, in the spirit of Ramana Maharshi, shares the wisdom and the humor of an acknowledged Spiritual Master. At a young age, Griffin became a student of one of India's most revered enlightened beings, Swami Muktananda, and today stands as a rare and precious western link to India's divine Siddha lineage. After devoting his entire life to attaining spiritual perfection, Griffin provides readers with crystal clear directions (and a few miraculous shortcuts) to attaining enlightenment in an American modern age.
Griffin is the founder of the Hardlight Center of Awakening in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New Mexico. He is dedicated to guiding students beyond their human frailties so that they can discover the depths of their true nature. Griffin has achieved an extraordinarily high degree of awakening, a state called "Samadhi."
