Book Details

How does dharma wisdom show up in our lives every day? This collection of teachings by the beloved Insight Meditation teacher Larry Rosenberg offers clear, down-to-earth guidance on learning how to live a life informed by Buddhism-through questioning, reflective observation, and self-understanding. Rosenberg is known for presenting the essence of the Buddhism in a way that is unvarnished, utterly accessible, and that resonates with a wide audience. Here he unpacks-with his signature engaging and iconoclastic style-such topics as meditation, silence, use of the breath, self-knowing, working with strong emotions, intimacy, illness and grief, among others. This book is also informed by what Rosenberg considers his deeper and more immediate understanding of dharma that has come in recent years-a period marked in his own life by illness and disability-and in the life of the planet by a deadly pandemic, war, an existential climate crisis, and pervasive technological distraction.
