Within Our Own Hearts
Ayya Khema

Ayya Khema: "It was the Buddha’s explicit teaching that real peace and happiness cannot be found within worldly conditions. First, they are always changing, but also they do not contain enough depth and profundity to really satisfy the yearning in our hearts for a deep and lasting containment.

This little volume of Dhamma talks offered here to show a way out of our problems and sufferings, to give an idea of the Buddha’s way to reach ultimate peace and happiness. It anyone becomes inspired to practice this path of moral conduct, meditation and insight, our world will be so much the better for it."

This inspiring book is based on twelve talks given at the Parappaduwa Nuns Island in Sri Lanka. Ayya Khema insists that the Buddha’s teachings, though profound, are simple and can be realized within our own hearts.
