Description
Open to Desire: The Truth About What the Buddha Taught
A provocative exploration of desire and its role in spiritual attainment. Dr. Mark Epstein argues that our fear of desire is often at the root of suffering, and proposes a new understanding of how to harness its power towards freedom and bliss.
By examining the state of dissatisfaction that causes us to cling to irrational habits, Dr. Epstein helps readers overcome their fears and bridge the gap between self and other. This thought-provoking book challenges conventional wisdom on desire and offers a fresh perspective on the nature of intimacy, eroticism, and spiritual growth.
