The Practical Buddhist Series
Many who strive to follow the Buddhist path experience barriers that frustrate their progress. The Self in No Self: Buddhist Heresies and Other Lessons of a Buddhist Life breaks out of the dogma of much Buddhist teaching to remove those barriers, making the path more accessible.
If my true self is no self, than who am I? If what I observe is void, does reality have no substance? How can there be no right or wrong? Since I am not enlightened, how can I achieve serenity while subject to the forces of ego and culture? What do you mean that my perceptions are illusory … if I can’t trust my senses, what can I trust?
The Self in No Self answers these questions, combining a fresh take on aspects of the Buddha dharma (including a new translation of the Heart Sutra which an Amazon reader called "a revelation") with a practical perspective based on years of experience. The book also illustrates, using the example of the author’s troubled life, how one can slowly find peace and contentment through the disciplined practice of Buddhism. This is a grounded lesson in practical Buddhism,
Following the Buddhist path while living in today’s world with its stressors and ego triggers is challenging. The Self in No Self offers practical advice to help lay Buddhists achieve serenity and be one with the Buddha dharma.
The book is available in both softcover - $12,95, and eBook - $9.99 formats.
