The Conditionality of Life

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Why do we do what we do? why do we see what we see? Seeing, attachment, generosity, all experiences in life can arise only because of a concurrence of conditions. This book is an introduction to the seventh book of the Abhidhamma, that deals with the conditionality of life. It explains the deep underlying motives for all actions through body, speech and mind and shows that these are dependent on conditions and cannot be controlled by a âselfâ. The study of conditions is indispensable for understanding the teaching of the âDependent Originationâ, the factors that condition our being in the cycle of birth and death. It will help the reader to understand the meaning of the Buddhaâs teaching of non-self, which can lead to the eradication of wrong view and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This book that deals with the intricacy of conditions is suitable for those who have already made a study of the Buddhaâs teachings
