Synopsis:
Inner tranquillity is a universal goal, or rather, it is THE universal goal - the goal of all existence, however various our attempts to reach it.
Drawing on over thirty years experience of teaching Theravada Buddhism in the West, Alan James illuminates the Buddha`s pathway to ultimate peace in this collection of inspiring lectures.
"The successful spiritual traveller completely understands suffering. He knows through experience its conditioned nature, its origins and its cessation. Having won to the deathless, he knows with a knowing that goes beyond words that he is free - that the universe is love - that the journey is ended - there is no more to do. He is finally at peace...Every living being that longs to avoid discomfort aims, however indirectly, at enlightenment, the cessation of suffering. We are in effect all on the same path, though of course many are currently lost and bewildered. For a minority in every generation with enough experience of suffering, the causes of distress gradually become more apparent. Those few always spurn conventional goals and set out on the search for true freedom. It is there to be discovered and it is worth any sacrifice one may have to make along the way. The quiet mind is without compare."Alan James. |
