Negative Positive
Title: Serious omissions
Review: As a "look inside", at the index will show, there is no discussion of the core Buddhist 'doctrines' of "no-self" (no permanent fixed separate self) , impermanence , or of shunyata or emptiness , and as a result critical subtle distinctions between pain and suffering are not made. The nature of craving is also misunderstood, as a result. A web search for Daniel Ingram, or Shinzen will provide very detailed free information as to how Buddhist teachings work with meditation practice to produce positive changes. Ayya Khema's writings also provide a very accessible introduction, without the biases of western therapy interfering. Khema and Shinzen are also on "Utube". A search for acesstoinsight , dharmaseed , & audiodharma will also be productive.
