Ageing in Buddhism: Reflections on Change, Loss and The Years That Remain - Paperback
About this item
by Edward Horner (Author)
Ageing in Buddhism is part of the Buddhist View Series, which explores ordinary aspects of life through a Buddhist perspective.
Ageing is often understood in terms of decline or loss, but much of its impact is quieter and more gradual. It appears in small changes in energy, attention, expectation, and identity-changes that are easy to overlook, yet difficult to fully accept.
This book looks closely at how ageing is actually experienced in everyday life. Rather than offering advice or reassurance, it examines how the mind responds to change, how comparison and expectation shape our experience, and how unnecessary forms of suffering can take hold.
Drawing on Buddhist reflection without relying on doctrine, Ageing in Buddhism considers how a clearer understanding of change may allow for a steadier, more direct relationship with the conditions of later life.
Written in clear, accessible language, this short volume offers a quiet and practical companion for anyone interested in how ageing is lived, rather than how it is often described.
