"Rob Burbea, in this remarkable book, proves to be a wonderfully skilled guide in exploring the understanding of emptiness as the key insight in transforming our lives... It is rare to find a book that explores so deeply the philosophical underpinnings of awakening at the same time as offering the practical means to realize it." |
Rob makes one of the most (on the face of it) opaque concepts in Buddhism crystal clear and utterly relevant to everyday lives. A transformative text. I have already bought many copies as gifts that have been gratefully enjoyed by my friends. |
