Breaking Through the Self Delusion: A Guide to Vipassana Meditation

Curious about meditation? There’s so much talk about meditation that it can confuse the beginner easily. Today nearly everything is called meditation. To cut through the confusion, in this book, Bhante Rahula gets to the heart of Buddhist meditation, which is the development of insight and breaking through the illusion of the self. The illusion of the ego is deeply ingrained within us and we live imprisoned in the monstrosity of our own ego. This book is about penetrating that illusion of the self to reach a more open and liberated consciousness. You can learn to have more peace in life through proper self-identification and this book reveals the how. The Buddha’s mathematical formula for suffering is S=P*R where S is Suffering, P is Pain and R is Resistance. This is Suffering equals Pain times Resistance. Resistance is essentially your ego clinging to things, places, and people out of either desire or aversion, thereby resisting the flow of reality. Your pain is your pain, but when your pain gets multiplied by your resistance, your suffering gets intensified. In this book, you will find ways to get overcome resistance created by your ego and return to the flow of life. — ISBN13: 9798437205310
