Impermanence in Plain English

Uncover Buddhism's core truth: everything fades.

If you've found solace in the pages of "Mindfulness in Plain English," you'll appreciate "Impermanence in Plain English" for its straightforward approach to one of Buddhism's most significant lessons. Bhante Gunaratana, a revered voice on mindfulness, co-authors with Julia Harris to unravel the often-complex theme of impermanence, making it accessible and relatable. You'll be engaged in an intimate reflection on life's ever-changing nature which may, in turn, offer a transformative perspective on how to navigate the ephemeral landscape of existence.

Description

The bestselling author of Mindfulness in Plain English guides readers toward a direct and personal realization of one of the foundational tenets of all things: that arising must pass away. In Impermanence in Plain English, Bhante Gunaratana, alongside Julia Harris, clearly and masterfully explains the key Buddhist insight of impermanence and invites readers to investigate its truth for themselves. Once-youthful bodies grow old and weary; new thoughts, feelings, and sensations arise and fade every moment. Impermanence is not an abstract or metaphysical idea. This is the Dhamma, and you can see it for yourself. Drawing from Pali scriptures and written in fresh, direct language, Gunaratana and Harris highlight the Buddha’s exhortation to directly realize liberating insights that free us from suffering and cyclic existence, rather than relying solely on the word of religious authorities or academic musings.
