Description

The teachings of the Buddha are presented here simply, accessibly, and free of jargon, for a contemporary world where our fevered pursuit of pleasure and comfort leaves us "like children playing in a house on fire, refusing to let go of our toys." From the author of the highly acclaimed Being Nobody, Going Nowhere, this book is a complete meditation course in which Ayya Khema points us toward the middle path - a path of simplicity. A practical guide to building meaning through awareness, When the Iron Eagle Flies contains a wealth of exercises and advice to help the reader along the path. Ayya Khema grounds her teaching in our ordinary, everyday experiences and gradually shows us how to gain access to liberation and freedom.

Ayya Khema was born in Berlin in 1923, ordained as a nun in Sri Lanka in 1979, and established several Buddhist centers, including Parappuduwa Nuns Island in Sri Lanka and Buddha Haus in Germany. Ayya Khema passed away in 1997.
