Many of us, even on our happiest days, struggle to quiet the constant buzz of anxiety in the background of our minds. All kinds of worries-worries about losing people and things, worries about how we seem to others-keep us from peace of mind. Distracted or misled by our preoccupations, misconceptions, and, most of all, our obsession with ourselves, we don' t see the world clearly-we don' t see the world as it really is. In our search for happiness and the good life, this is the main problem. But luckily there is a solution, and on the path to understanding it, we can make use of the rich and varied teachings that have developed over centuries of Buddhist thought. With clarity and compassion, Nicolas Bommarito explores the central elements of centuries of Buddhist philosophy and practice, explaining how they can improve your life and teach you to live without fear. Mining important texts and lessons for practical guidance, he provides a friendly guide to the very practical goals that underpin Buddhist philosophy. After laying out the basic ideas, Bommarito walks readers through a wide range of techniques and practices we can adopt to mend ingrainedhabits. Rare for its exploration of both the philosophy that motivates Buddhism and its practical applications, this is a compassionate guide to leading a good life that anyone can follow.
Nic Bommarito' s Seeing Clearlyis a crystal clear manual on how to actually feel, think, and live as a Buddhist. It manages the rare feat of providing a sophisticated and crystal clear introduction to Buddhist philosophy, psychology, and practice. There is no better book available that explains what it means to feel, think, and act as a Buddhist. For 21st century adventurers who want to try on the Buddhist form of life, even if only for a while, this remarkablebook should be your guide. * Owen Flanagan,, James B. Duke Professor of Philosophy, Duke University, and author of The Geography of Morals (OUP, 2017) and The Bodhisattva' s Brain (MIT Press, 2011) *
