How to Lose Yourself

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the Buddhist concept of self as an illusion, this volume delves into the implications of relinquishing self-centered impulses. It draws from early Buddhist texts across Theravada, Tibetan Indian, and Chinese Zen traditions, marking a significant addition to the Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers series. The authors, Jay Garfield, Maria Heim, and Robert Sharf, translate and interpret key texts, emphasizing that while we are interdependent beings, the absence of a core self offers a constructive perspective on personal identity, ethics, and our role in the world.
