Description
A practical guide to Vasubandhu's classic work "Thirty Verses of Consciousness Only", this book offers a down-to-earth exploration of Yogacara and its relevance to modern life. Ben Connelly's approach provides a thorough understanding of the poem, dedicating a chapter to each line, and unpacks its wisdom in a warm and wise voice. Vasubandhu, a fourth-century Indian Buddhist genius, sought to reconcile diverse ideas and forms of Buddhism into a single system, giving rise to the Yogacara movement. His "Thirty Verses on Consciousness Only" presents a path of practice that integrates powerful Buddhist psychological and mystical possibilities, including shedding afflictive emotional habits and embracing individual liberation. This book provides a unique opportunity to apply ancient insights to modern life, creating a life of engaged peace, harmony, compassion, and joy.
