EBook For Selfless Minds 1st Edition By Monima Chadha

Selfless Minds looks at the idea of “no-self” in an important Buddhist text called the Abhidharmakosa-Bhasya, written by a philosopher named Vasubandhu. Monima Chadha, the author of this book, explains that Vasubandhu believed there is no such thing as a “self” or “person,” and that our sense of self is just an illusion. This idea challenges how we think about our minds and who we are. Even if we agree that there is no self, it still raises more questions about how we think about ourselves and others in our everyday life.

The first part of the book explains how we can understand our thoughts and experiences without thinking about a “self.” The second part looks at what it means to say there are no real people, which can seem strange or hard to accept. Chadha argues that we should think carefully about both Buddhist ideas and our everyday practices to see how they can fit together.

Selfless Minds is a study that combines ideas from Buddhist philosophy, Western philosophy, and modern science to explore what it means to have a “selfless” mind.
