Indu Shakya

Dr Indu L. Shakya, PhD (Sussex), brings forward his direct experiences of many years of meditation practices following the original Pali Sutta texts combining Samatha and Vipassana methods. As a scientist, he also brings his insights of key developments in physics, cosmology. He covers areas like particle physics, quantum mechanics, space-time, general relativity, notions like locality, unitarity. He summarises the perplexing issues the physicists are facing in progressing the established notions and theories.

He explains how one can remain completely free from the universe by letting go of all reactions while experiencing the progressive stages of voidness of all phenomena. He uses many real-life examples to give best possible accounts of those experiences to bring much needed awareness and optimism that such experiences as the historical Buddha mentioned do exist. It’s just the matter of if one can dedicate time and effort to experience them.
