Synopsis

Hundreds of thousands of Westerners now meditate regularly but is our meditation doing the trick? Does it help us in times of need? A New Way of Seeing challenges us to go deeper, so Buddhism can benefit our lives.

 

This book explores the unconscious biases that prevent us from fully hearing the meaning of the teachings, and invites readers to engage in the dynamic process of questioning what the Buddha said, allowing us to re-evaluate our own thinking and come to a new clarity.

 

A New Way of Seeing is a compelling exploration of the Treasury of Metaphysics (Abhidharma Kosha) that breathes new life into a subject often perceived as dry and remote. Dominique Side skilfully offers a refreshing and engaging perspective that serves as a captivating gateway into the profound world of Buddhist thought and practice. With a wealth of traditional teachings and contemplative guidance received from esteemed Tibetan masters, Dominique masterfully weaves a contemporary narrative around Buddhist metaphysics. Her work is not only rich in reflection and inquiry but also invites readers to embark on a transformative journey toward deeper spiritual understanding and development. - Ven. Sean Price, Director of Tibetan Publications, Tsadra Foundation
