A sense of Inner Peace through Ayya Khema

[The Path to Peace - A Buddhist Guide to cultivating Loving Kindness]

Based on teachings of Menta Sutta, this book was written by late Ayya Khema to guide readers in cultivating loving-kindness towards others. One aspect of the book which I found particularly insightful was her breakdown of Buddhist texts, which she offered her own insights and thoughts on their meaning.

For example, the book mentioned the relationship between thoughts and emotions. She explained that our thought processes can generate either positive of negative feelings, and that with the practice of mindfulness and observing our thoughts without judgement, will we be able to let go of the negatives and in return, stumble upon a sense of inner peace.

In summary, the book : -

1) suggests that we be always present and observe our thoughts.

2) takes guidance on the Eightfold Path, a set of practices that help us to live a more meaningful life.

3) is a beginner friendly resource to individuals interested in Buddhism and meditation.

Lastly, I believe that with a little more compassion and kindness to others, we can look to improve our relationship and find greater sense or purpose/motivation in life.
