Nirvana Upside Down

Nirvana Upside Down offers analyses of the Theravada Buddhist teachings on the relationship between nirvana and samsara, focusing on Buddhist theory of mind, the nature and operations of karma, and Buddhist theoretical philosophy and psychology (abhidharma). This text offers an in-depth presentation that goes beyond an introduction of principles of mindfulness meditation to an appreciation of the full theoretical understanding and morality that are the foundation of Buddhist psychological practice.
