The Royal Song of Saraha

Abstract

This book contains the root text and a commentary, as well as Guenther's articulate explanations. Saraha analyses perceptions, and of particular interest to me was what is said about memory. Memory is what comprises most of our thought processes, and what causes most of us much pain and discomfort. Conventional notions of memory assumes a past, present and a future, whose validy Saraha challenges. Each philosophical point is illustrated by a simile, which facilitates the reader's absorption of each point. So this is an excellent account of dealing with the status of our thoughts and feelings about our experiences.
