In this lucid classic, beloved teacher Ayya Khema introduces the
listener to the essence of the Buddhist path. She addresses the how and
why of meditation, providing a clear framework for understanding the
nature of karma and rebirth and the entirety of the eightfold path. With
specific, practical advice, Ayya Khema illuminates the practices of
compassion and sympathetic joy, and offers forthright guidance in
working with the hindrances that we all encounter in meditation. Few
introductory books are both simple and profound. Being Nobody, Going
Nowhere is both.
