Language and scope

Terms such as “Bodhisattva,” “Buddhahood,” and “nirvana” belong to Buddhist traditions and should be understood in that context. They are not clinical categories, measurable wellness outcomes, or promises of attainment.

This is a compact book for readers prepared to engage directly with traditional Buddhist language and a demanding view of practice.
