Living as a River: Finding Fearlessness in the Face of Change
What happens when we embrace the flow of life? We stop suffering. In Living as a River, Bodhipaksa conducts a masterful investigation of the nature of self with an eloquent blend of current science and time-honoured spiritual insight meant to free us from the fear of impermanence in a world defined by change.
The primary vehicle for this journey is Buddhism’s traditional Six Element Practice, a deconstructive process of deep reflection that helps us let go of the belief in a separate, static self – the root of unhappiness. Bodhipaksa takes readers through a systematic analysis of the self that supports the realization of:
- a sense of spaciousness and expansiveness that transcends the limitations of the physical body
- profound gratitude, awe and a feeling of belonging as we witness the extent of our connectedness with the universe
- freedom from the psychological burden caused by clinging to a limited identity, and
- the relaxed experience of “consciousness, pure and bright.”
Engrossing and incisive, Living as a River is at once an empowering guide and a meditative practice to overcome the fear of change and align with the natural unfolding of creation.
