Dependent Origination in Plain English by Bhante Gunaratana Paperback Book

Description: Dependent Origination in Plain English by Bhante Gunaratana, Veronique Ziegler In his famously accessible language, the author of Mindfulness in Plain English unpacks the foundational Buddhist theory of dependent origination, showing the reader how by eliminating ignorance we can eliminate suffering. Nothing happens by accident. All things, no matter how mundane or meaningful, arise based on causes and conditions. And without those causes and conditions they would not arise at all. This, in short, is the Buddhas teaching of dependent origination. Embedded in this fundamental theory are central teachings such as nonself, impermanence, and the four noble truths. And from it we can see for ourselves how suffering and rebirth, the great problems lying at the heart of the dhamma, arise--and how they pass away. In Dependent Origination in Plain English, the venerable scholar-monk Bhante Gunaratana and his student Veronique Ziegler break down this keystone Buddhist teaching from the Pali canon into its core components, guiding the reader step by step from ignorance to suffering and its end. The process leading to future rebirths may seem far off, but its not some distant event. Its happening now, with every breath you take.

Review "As the title suggests, Bhante Gunaratana has a unique ability to convey in plain English even the most profound aspects of the Buddhas teachings. The Law of Dependent Origination was the culminating insight of the Buddhas enlightenment as he sat under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya; it details the chain of causation that leads to cycles of suffering, and in reverse, to the potential for our own liberation. Bhante G. combines a scholarly acumen, a depth of practical, meditative wisdom, and a clarity of language that makes these teachings eminently accessible to the reader and so valuable and transformative for us all."--Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening Details ISBN161429898X Author Veronique Ziegler Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781614298984 Format Paperback Audience General Publisher Wisdom Publications,U.S. Imprint Wisdom Publications,U.S. Place of Publication Somerville Country of Publication United States DEWEY 294.342041 Pages 160 Publication Date 2024-07-11 US Release Date 2024-07-11 ISBN-10 161429898X UK Release Date 2024-07-11 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
