The wise never wish success by unethical means

A person who would not wish for success by unethical means, not for the sake of oneself, not for the sake of others, not with hopes for children, wealth, or kingdom, is a person of virtue, insight, and truth. -Śākyamuni Buddha Source: Dhammapada 6.9 Photo Credit: Ảnh minh họa. (Nguồn internet)

SELF-COMPASSION: TRANSFORM SELF (ATTĀ) INTO NON-SELF (ANATTĀ) (JAPANESE EDITION)

  CELEBRATE MY NEW BOOK RELEASE! SELF-COMPASSION: TRANSFORM SELF (ATTĀ) INTO NON-SELF (ANATTĀ) (JAPANESE EDITION) Released on October 5th, 2020 Dear Friends, I’m excited to announce that my eighth Japanese book “Self-Compassion: Transform Self (attā) into Non-Self (anattā),” (Japanese Edition) was published on Amazon today, October 5th, 2020. An impeccable Japanese translation was provided by the esteemed author, Yoshiko. This book presents self-compassion within a conventional self (attā) and how one would then be able to transform that compassionate self into non-self (anattā). In addition, I have examined that non-self isn't a sudden perspective, yet rather a skillful development of a compassionate self. I am very delighted and honored to add this latest addition to the Japanese readership. May you be well and happy!
