Drawing on decades of study with her teacher Acharn Sujin, Nina explains how what we call \"life\" is really just a rapid succession of fleeting moments of consciousness, and that what we take to be a permanent \"self\" is in fact an ever-changing stream of mental and physical phenomena beyond anyone's control. Through scripture, personal reflection, and dialogue, the book unpacks core concepts like suffering (\u003cem\u003edukkha\u003c\/em\u003e), non-self (\u003cem\u003eanattā\u003c\/em\u003e), and the nature of consciousness (\u003cem\u003ecitta\u003c\/em\u003e), showing how genuine understanding - not ritual or forced meditation - is the path the Buddha taught toward the end of suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740440399968,"sku":"9781897633502","price":20.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/7dchWOPG5n9781897633502.webp?v=1778093795","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/buddhism-learning-to-understand-life-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
