description: If everything is empty then what ceases in Nirvana and is born in rebirth? How can you live in the world without feeling trapped by it? Guy Armstrong tackles these questions and more in this richly informed practical guide to emptiness for the meditator.It may seem odd for emptiness to serve as the central philosophy of a major religion. In fact emptiness points to something quite different than nothingness or vacancy. And by developing a richer understanding of this complex topic we can experience freedom as we live consciously in the world.Guy Armstrong has been a leading figure and beloved teacher of insight meditation for decades. In this book he makes difficult Buddhist topics easy to understand weaving together Theravada and Mahayana teachings on emptiness to show how we can liberate our minds and manifest compassion in our lives.
