Reviews

"Impermanence can be scary to contemplate, but it is also utterly freeing. Learn more from one of the world's greatest living meditation masters."--Dan Harris, Ten Percent Happier podcast and author, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works

"In this rich distillation of a lifetime of profound Dharma practice, Bhante Gunaratana invites us to 'come and see' for ourselves the liberating truth of impermanence. With great warmth and clarity, he shows how the awakened heart can find security even in the midst of constant change, not by ignoring or resisting impermanence but by fully embracing it. Impermanence in Plain English is a major teaching."--John Brehm, author of Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy and Dharma Talk

"This book is an inspired contemplation of the key to liberating insight--the perception of impermanence. Beautifully written in short, easy-to-digest chapters, Impermanence in Plain English combines profound teachings from Buddhist discourses with practical reflections on the myriad ways that impermanence manifests in ordinary lives. This simple yet deep guide points newcomers to insight meditation right to the heart of insight knowledge, and it encourages seasoned meditators to trust the joyful unfolding of this path of peace."--Shaila Catherine, author of Beyond Distraction: Five Practical Ways to Focus the Mind
