About this book
Buddhahood is a collection of essays contributed over a period of more than thirty years to The Middle Way, the journal of the Buddhist Society.
Here, Phiroz Mehta turns his attention to Buddhism and Yoga, meditation and death, and the movement towards holistic consciousness and many vital aspects of religious practice.
Extract
With the silence of the mind and the flowering of understanding, you cease to do evil and you cease to pursue good. For you who have gone thus clearly see that if you resist a thought or feeling out of condemnation, or if you are attracted through approving choice, you will never understand it. But if you observe it unresistingly and follow it to its very end without indulging it in any way, you will have unerring insight into it together with full compassion.
From page 55 of Buddhahood
