About this listen

In this lucid classic, beloved teacher Ayya Khema introduces the listener to the essence of the Buddhist path. She addresses the how and why of meditation, providing a clear framework for understanding the nature of karma and rebirth and the entirety of the eightfold path. With specific, practical advice, Ayya Khema illuminates the practices of compassion and sympathetic joy, and offers forthright guidance in working with the hindrances that we all encounter in meditation. Few introductory books are both simple and profound. Being Nobody, Going Nowhere is both.

If you're new to meditation or Buddhist principles, maybe you have to read or listen to this book to learn why it is the perfect title.

This is one of the best books I've ever come across in this arena and has made sense of a lot of vague understandings to me.
Just a big book of eloquent truth.
Nothing mystical.
Just lessons in how to keep your head from turning to mush on a daily basis.
Not a book about being helpless or hopeless - the absolute opposite.

Thanks.

Don't Be Put Off By The Title!

This book was a wonderfully surprise. I only started listening to it one night when I couldn’t sleep. I really didn’t have much of an idea of what it was about. But it’s probably been one of the most profound books I have listened to. I’m about to listen again - so much to understand and absorb!

Learnt so much

Wasn’t expecting this to be so succinct and well-written, as it was in the ‘included’ range of audiobooks I wouldn’t have normally chosen.

I’ve read at least one hundred books on Buddhism and I found this to be clear, deep and concise ~ no unnecessary vagueness under the umbrella of the ever-knowing never-knowing enigma of Buddhist thought. This is a practical, wise and very useful book.

Highly recommend.
