'This is a refreshing approach to the classical Abhidharma material,
relentlessly experiential and eminently practical. It offers a way of engaging
directly with the sophisticated elements of Buddhist psychology that is
immediately accessible... I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to
use Buddhist wisdom to explore and clarify their minds.'
Andrew Olendzki, author of Unlimiting Mind,
senior scholar at Barre Center for Buddhist Studies
'It's not our bank balance, looks, social status or popularity that determines
state of mind. Subhuti helps us to identify what's going on in our mind, and
see clearly what's helpful and what will end in tears.'
Vessantara, author of The Breath and A Guide to the Buddhas
What exactly should I be working on in my spiritual life?'
This is the question that Subhuti sets before us, along with what we most
need to answer it for ourselves.
Long before the discoveries of contemporary neuroscience and psychology,
the Buddha gained insight into the nature of mind. In early Buddhism this
profound insight informed the Abhidharma - a 'training manual' to help
us understand and transform our own minds. Subhuti brings this manual
to life, and shows us the ways in which it illuminates our mind's patterns.
Outlining the processes whereby the mind attends to the world,
Subhuti guides us expertly to an appreciation of how mental states arise,
and how to distinguish between skilful mental states and their opposites.
In this way, we are given the means to live a happier and more fruitful
mind in its ultimate harmony.
