Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It is by conditions that at this moment seeing arises then hearing, then perhaps dying, we never know the next moment. It is all beyond control. Each consciousness, citta, falls away but it conditions the next one and that is why tendencies are carried on from moment to moment and from life to life. What we take to be a person are just different mental and physical phenomena arising and passing away. The Buddha analyzed these in detail as nama (mind/mental factors) and rupa (physical/material phenomena). Nama can experience or know objects, while rupa cannot experience but can be experienced by nama. Seeing is nama that experiences visible object or rupa. Consciousness (citta) is the chief mental factor that arises to know an object. It is supported by other mental factors (cetasikas) that each have their own function. Consciousness and mental factors arise in processes or series, experiencing objects through the sense doors and mind door. This shows their impermanence and non-self nature. There are many different types of consciousness - wholesome, unwholesome, results of past kamma. We cannot control what type arises, only understand them. The aim is to develop understanding of realities as they are, as impermanent and non-self. This understanding can gradually eliminate ignorance and attachment to self. Mindfulness (sati) arises to remember or be aware of whatever reality appears in the present moment. It is not self-induced but depends on conditions. The Buddha's teachings help live naturally while seeing the true nature of experiences, not relying on self. Helps the reader gain insight into how Buddhism works to understand life.The Buddha taught that all mental phenomena and physical phenomena which naturally appear in our daily life can be objects of mindfulness and right understanding.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Buddhism: Learning to Understand Life by Nina van Gorkom is a clear and accessible introduction to Buddhist philosophy through the Theravada Abhidhamma tradition, exploring what life truly is at its most fundamental level. Drawing on decades of study with her teacher Acharn Sujin, Nina explains how what we call 'life' is really just a rapid succession of fleeting moments of consciousness, and that what we take to be a permanent 'self' is in fact an ever-changing stream of mental and physical phenomena beyond anyone's control. Through scripture, personal reflection, and dialogue, the book unpacks core concepts like suffering (dukkha), non-self (anatta), and the nature of consciousness (citta), showing how genuine understanding - not ritual or forced meditation - is the path the Buddha taught toward the end of suffering.
