In Search Of The Self
Author: Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 9351184684
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
The world we live in forces us to create a sense of self that is possibly better accepted, better liked by the others. Constantly living with this idea of yourself eventually fools you into thinking this is who you are, when in reality, your true self has been hidden away. In order to truly follow the path of spirituality and attain enlightenment, Buddhism believes in not only questioning one's external reality but also one's inner beliefs and the inner self. Only then can one develop a true understanding of things. In this simple guide to understanding the self and how one can go about doing that, Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey also talks about how a false sense of self is manifested and how one can avoid that. This simple, helpful guide is another one in the series of teaching sessions that took place at the Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre in New Delhi.
