"'Into the Mirror' is a call to cultivate wisdom and compassion - right within this world of illusion - and an insightful challenge to the rampant materialism of modernity. Andy Karr presents accessible and powerful methods to accomplish this through investigating the way our minds construct our worlds. Combining contemporary Western inquiries with classical Buddhist investigations into the nature of mind, Karr invites the reader to make a personal, experiential journey through study, contemplation and meditation. He presents a series of contemplative practices from Mahayana Buddhism, starting with the Middle Way teachings on emptiness and interdependence through Yogachara's subtle understanding of nonduality, to the view that buddha nature is already within us to be revealed rather than something external to be acquired." --Back cover.

Andy Karr is a teacher, author, and photographer whose works explore profound and penetrating insights into dharma and mind. At an early age, he dreamed of becoming a Zen master -- as he describes, probably the result of reading 'Zen in the Art of Archery' as a teenager and watching too many samurai movies. His interests led him to read 'Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind' and to train under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi at the San Francisco Zen Center and under Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in Boulder, Colorado.
