Practicing Yogacara Buddhism with Vasubandhu’s Three Natures

Dive into this empowering approach to freedom from suffering and from harmful personal and social patterns—and find peace and joyfulness in the present.

In his new book, Vasubandhu’s "Three Natures": A Practitioner's Guide for Liberation (link is to the Zen Center online store), a plain-English commentary, Ben Connelly shows the power of integrating early Buddhist psychology with the Mahāyāna emphasis on collective liberation. You’ll discover how wisdom from fourth-century India can be harnessed to heal and transform systems of harm within ourselves and our communities.

Ben's book was published on October 4, and is also available from the publisher.
