Produktbeschreibung

This is a truly extraordinary and transformative book. It distills the most profound and fundamental truths about happiness and healing to their essence. Dean Ornish, MD Providing an antidote to our never-ending quest for more, mindfulness teacher, successful entrepreneur, and Zen Buddhist Billy Wynne shows that embracing emptiness can declutter the mind and distill our experience of daily life to its essential beauty, clarity, and joy A clear and reasoned antidote to our current epoch of insatiable more-ness, The Empty Path is a how-to manual and spiritual guidebook for realizing and practicing emptiness as the source of inherent joy and satisfaction in our lives. By exploring this core, often-misunderstood Buddhist teaching, author Billy Wynne dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment will come via accumulation or achievement. He shows that instead of resolving our suffering, the quest for more only increases our problems by preventing us from engaging with the full breadth of our authentic life experience. The Empty Path leads readers on a modern-day hero's journey, with Wynne as a guide. He uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help readers wake up to their inherent wholeness, navigate the barriers between self and true peace, and clear a path to replacing existential unease with abundant gratitude and joy. Each chapter is built around five fundamental resources: • Buddhist principles that expound emptiness, delivered in plain, relatable language • guided mindfulness practices tailored to the chapter's core topic, with links to supplemental audio recordings • clear instruction for applying these principles and practices to daily life, including brief exercises and invitations for personal reflection • strategies for overcoming common obstacles that readers may encounter along the path • lyrical inspiration to maintain readers' motivation and optimism At the other end of this journey, readers will be equipped with insight and tools to greet life with presence, curiosity, and ease. By presenting a new understanding of the emptiness of our experience, The Empty Path demonstrates how everyone can fundamentally reorient their relationship with life by remembering the truth of what they already are.
