In this lucid classic, beloved teacher Ayya Khema introduces the listener to the essence of the Buddhist path. She addresses the how and why of meditation, providing a clear framework for understanding the nature of karma and rebirth and the entirety of the eightfold path. With specific, practical advice, Ayya Khema illuminates the practices of compassion and sympathetic joy, and offers forthright guidance in working with the hindrances that we all encounter in meditation. Few introductory books are both simple and profound. Being Nobody, Going Nowhere is both.
Being Nobody Going Nowhere Meditations on the Buddhist Path (Audible Audio Edition) Ayya Khema Claire Slemmer Fajer AlKaisi Audible Studios Books
The subtitle of this wonder of a book is Meditations on the Buddhist Path, an amazingly apt description.Ayya Khema (Ilse Kussel) was German born Theravada Buddhist nun, who, I’m pretty sure, never gladly suffered fools. Accounts from former students of her corroborate that impression. She is like a stern mother telling you the often-unpalatable truth without sugarcoating; she has your best interest in mind, that is clear.
Her style is clear and always directly to the point, and what she covers in this great book could well serve as a Buddhist Primer.
I have a fairly comprehensive Buddhist library which I read from daily, but the author I return to the most often is Ayya Khema. If ever I feel cloudy, her words cut through the fog and ushers me back to me feet and into action; this without beating you over the head with it, just by clearly and directly making her many well-wrought points.
She is a person who walked the walk and her experience and certainty shines through every sentence. You are richer for having met her, if only through her wonderful books.
You owe it to yourself to read this.

Being Nobody Going Nowhere Meditations on the Buddhist Path (Audible Audio Edition) Ayya Khema Claire Slemmer Fajer AlKaisi Audible Studios Books Reviews
One of the few books I ever willingly took notes on and made a personal mind map!!! Was Ayya Khama, perhaps, an arahant herself? After reading a book this well conceived and written, one must ask the question.
Very good. Simple to read book for those who want to know more of Buddhism
I think this is about the best book I have ever read, along with the Power of Now by Echart Tolle. The writer was an American, living the usual American life before she found deep joy on the Buddhist path. I think this book cuts to the chase and gets to the heart of Buddhism. Just amazing!
This is a practical and thoughtful reflection on Buddhist Meditation. I read a lot of texts on meditation and contemplation. This is one of the most inviting, well written, practical, and clearly laid out offerings on understanding and entering the discipline of Buddhist Meditation. Ayya Khema has offered a lasting gift on this important topic.
This is the first book I read by the author and still my favorite. It is a record of her discourses during a Vipassana 10 day silent retreat. Informative and enlightening!
This book started out extremely strong for me. I think it’s very well written and I recommend it to anyone interested in Buddhism and/or meditation. It bogged down towards the end and thus 4 stars vs 5 - a five star rating has to be just fantastic all the way through for me. This was close, and it’s certainly a worthwhile read, but not quite what I’d call five stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Beautifully presented! Using everyday language, Ayya Khema frames the Buddha's Noble 8-fold Path in a way that is essential for a beginner and deeply meaningful to someone like myself who has been diligently practicing for several years. Ms. Khema takes you to the nuts and bolts of the process and to the Heart of it in a way that increases confidence and inspires. Some of the things she mentions, I had experienced and wondered about. Some of my lingering questions were also answered. I shared this with several friends and all felt similarly. After this simmers for a bit, I would also recommend another title, "Who Is My Self?" Both of these are gems of the Dhamma.
