Description:
Dhamma Within Reach contains rewritten and expanded essays
based on the transcripts from a selection of video and audio talks and
discussions. All of the essays in this collection share the same central
theme: suffering, and freedom from it. The style of the essays reflects
the author’s uniquely practical and concrete approach to the Dhamma,
beginning with discussions about the nature of dukkha, and the need to do more than merely manage it. Dukkha is not just suffering, not just this or that particular discomfort. Rather, dukkha is one’s liability to suffering, and freedom from suffering can only be achieved if that liability is uprooted;
one must learn how not to be affected in the first place. This is far
more easily said than done, but as the book progresses, Ajahn Nyanamoli
gives clear, practical guidance on how to get closer to that goal.
Rejecting popular notions of meditation and mindfulness as nothing more
than forms of management, he instead emphasises the necessity of sense
restraint and self-honesty, and the importance of cultivating endurance
toward both pleasant and unpleasant feelings, as being of vital
importance.
