Topics include - Egolessness - Appearances and reality - Methods of investigation - Enlightenment - Tenets of different schools through the centuries - The root of compassion - The origin of thoughts Guided exercises encourage the reader to trust in experiential understanding through deep contemplation of complex concepts.
