Product Description

Review

Clearly and intelligently written, this book carries a lot of good advice. --Professor Richard Gombrich, author of 'What the Buddha Thought'

Like all fine writers, Dhivan Thomas Jones makes complex ideas simple and subtle truths compelling. The Buddha considered conditionality the heart of his message and fathoming it the key to a happy, creative and fulfilling life. This excellent book teases out his meaning and makes you want to start putting it into practice right away. --Vishvapani Blomfield, author of 'Gautama Budda: the Life and Teachings of the Awakened One'

About the Author

Thomas Jones was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2004, receiving the name Dhivan, meaning 'thoughtful' or 'intelligent'. At Lancaster University he obtained a BA in Religious Studies and a PhD in the Philosophy of Love. He also has a degree in Sanskrit and Pali from the University of Cambridge and teaches courses in the arts for the Open University.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Being, That Becomes
By Jules on 5 May 2011
Format: Paperback
Dhivan Thomas Jones' clear linguistic style gently unravels the complexity of Buddhist philosophy. Dhivan manages to explain the profound insights of the Buddha in a compelling way which allows the reader, even someone new to Buddhist thought, to consider them in the context of the modern world. This thought-provoking book incorporates questions and exercises at the end of each chapter to inspire readers to reflect on how Buddhist philosophy can make a difference in their lives. I think it is a book readers will reflect on and to which they will return time and again.

5.0 out of 5 starsQuick and great book
By marion carroll on 11 April 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I am amazed at how quick this was on my kindle within minutes of paying for it. How great is that! No waiting for it to arrive in the post and I was going on a retreat where the man who wrote the book was leading it the day after I purchased my book on here. Brilliant book and amazing writer too.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Buddha's core teaching brilliantly and lucidly presented
By Ambient Arts Ltd on 1 Feb. 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The Buddha's core teaching brilliantly and lucidly presented. It goes beyond mere ideas and presents maps for spiritual development, and emphasising the need to experience wisdom through meditation rather than merely intellectually grasping at it.
