Acerca de este libro electrónico

Auteur et psychiatre, Paul Fleischman explore les relations entre la psychiatrie, la science et l'enseignement intemporel du Bouddha dans Karma et Chaos. Huit nouveaux essais du docteur Fleischman dans ce travail de réflexion sondent le coeur de l'héritage du Bouddha à l'humanité : l'autocorrection par la méditation. S'appuyant sur ses nombreuses années de pratique en tant que thérapeute, méditant et enseignant, il nous guide avec autorité et humilité vers l'essence de la méditation Vipassana telle qu'enseignée par S. N. Goenka, ses bénéfices psychologiques et ses périls, et l’inextricable fondement des actions morales.
