Ten Ways to Awaken

A Contemporary Guide to Finding the Way

By Ramiro López Larroy
Foreword by Bart van Melik
Translated from the Spanish by Azul Cibils Blaquier

We are not broken.

Most of us do not come to meditation because life is easy. We come because something has shaken us.

Ten Ways to Awaken offers a clear, contemporary map of Buddhist practice for modern life. Through ten lived insights, this book invites us to see clearly, suffer less, and respond with wisdom and compassion.

This is not a self-improvement system or an academic introduction to Buddhism. It is a companion for anyone seeking a simple, honest doorway to the path.

Praise

Advance praise for Ten Ways to Awaken

“In this beautiful little book, López Larroy shares the teachings of the Buddha in a way that is profound and at the same time simple and accessible. He explains the core teachings in a relatable manner, focusing on the concerns of the ordinary person: dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions, loving ourselves and others, and finding happiness. With stories from his own practice, he normalizes the challenges of the spiritual path while inspiring us to take responsibility for our lives. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, leading to a beautiful conclusion focusing on the interconnectedness of us all and the open heart that cares and wants to be of service. Recommended for both beginners starting a meditation practice and more experienced students who want a refresher.”

Rebecca Bradshaw, Guiding Teacher Emeritus of the Insight Meditation Society

“In Ten Ways to Awaken, Ramiro López Larroy does a beautiful job of providing just what is needed for people who are new to meditation and Buddhist teachings. He writes in an accessible, heartfelt and inspiring way. I highly recommend this book.”

David Chernikoff, author of Life, Part Two
Guiding Teacher, Insight Meditation Community of Colorado

“Ten Ways to Awaken draws on Ramiro López Larroy’s own practice. He shares the path as he has walked it, so what you find here comes from more than ideas. He meets the doubts that stop people from ever beginning, and the quieter ones that stall us once we have, with real honesty, and shows how they can become the first step forward. Whatever stage you are at, this is a grounded companion for anyone walking the Buddha’s path.”

Mariana Restrepo, Public Engagement Strategist at 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha; former deputy editor of Buddhadharma and former editor of El Camino del Buda
