Awakening from the Daydream

David Nichtern

“David skillfully brings an ancient framework into a contemporary context and shows how working with these teachings can support our liberation right now. This is a wonderful book—pithy, relevant and fun to read.”—Sharon Salzberg Hell realms, gods, and hungry ghosts, karma, impermanence and samsara—these are just a few of the teachings represented in the allegorical Wheel of Life. Famously painted at the entryway to Buddhist monasteries, this image embodies the entirety of the human situation, showing how our sense of self takes shape, and how we get trapped in confusing, painful and repetitive patterns. This is Buddhist psychology at its most down-to-earth, penetrating and practical; at its heart is the teaching of how to get off this wheel, and liberate ourselves from the endless patterns of negativity. David Nichtern, a beloved meditation teacher, writes with clarity and humor, providing simple practical steps for building a mindful, compassionate, and liberating approach to life. Duration - 3h 27m. Author - David Nichtern. Narrator - David Nichtern. Published Date - Sunday, 01 January 2023. Copyright - © 2016 David Nichtern ©.
