WHO IS MY SELF? A Guide To Buddhist Meditation

Author: Khema, Ayya

Sandy Boucher, author of Turning the Wheel and Opening the Lotus--A Woman's Guide to Buddhism
Ayya Khema's teachings are strongly grounded in a practical daily life perspective, yet she shows how to experience sublime states in meditation. In this excellent book she lays out the path specified by the Buddha himself.

Zoketsu Norman Fischer, Co-Abbot, San Francisco Zen Center, author of Jerusalem Moonlight
Ayya Khema is a meditator's meditator, a real expert, as clear about the nuts and bolts of technique as she is about the basic sanity and profound peacefulness that is the goal of all technique. Who Is My Self? is a truly astonishing book. It discusses, for the first time as far as I know, in definite and practical language, the well-known eight stages of absorption, based not on textual sources but on personal experience. If you are interested in Buddhist meditation in all its color, depth, and refinement you will want to pay close attention to this book.

Book Description
Full of practical advice and instructive examples.

Synopsis
A practical Buddhist meditation guide that clearly explains traditional Buddhist meditation practice and deals with various problems encountered in meditation. Ayya Khema, author of the bestselling BEING NOBODY, GOING NOWHERE, is our guide along the path of the oldest Buddhist meditative tradition.

From the Back Cover
In this beautifully crafted guide to one of the Buddha's most famous teachings, Ayya Khema leads you, as the Buddha led his disciple Potthapada, through progressively higher levels of understanding and realization of the true nature of the "self." Interpreting this famous discourse with insightful examples from her years of teaching meditation, she guides you along the path of perhaps the most effective Buddhist meditative practice for personal transformation. Along the way you will learn about the language, customs, and culture of the era in which the Buddha gave his discourses and be surprised at how pertinent this 2500 year-old teaching is for you and your world.

About the Author
: Ayya Khema (1923-1997) authored twenty-five books in English and German on meditation and the Buddha's teachings; her books have been translated into seven other languages. During her extraordinary lifetime she establised several Buddhist practice centers around the world, including Wat Buddha Dhamma in Australia, the International Buddhist Women's Centre and Parappuduwa Nun's Island in Sri Lanka, and Buhddha-Haus and Metta Vihara in Germany.
