Mind Science and compass for Everyday Life: Navigating Mind, Matter, and Liberation Vol-3

Synopsis: This book explores Rūpa, the material part of existence — the body, the senses, and the world we see, hear, and touch. It explains how matter arises from four great elements — earth, water, fire, and air — and how mind and matter depend on each other. Through simple comparisons and body-based awareness, readers learn to see the body and physical world as changing, momentary, and not “mine.” Learning Outcome: You will gain a scientific yet peaceful way of seeing the body — understanding it as nature, not self. This prepares you for mindful awareness of sensations and detachment from clinging to physical forms. Abstract The third volume examines Rūpa, the material component of existence. It explains how matter arises through four great elements—solidity (earth), cohesion (water), temperature (fire), and motion (air)—and their derived forms such as the senses, gender, and life faculty. The book describes the interaction between mind and matter, showing how mental activity conditions physical phenomena and vice versa. Through accessible examples, readers learn to see the body as a natural process, not as self or possession. This volume provides a clear understanding of Buddhist material science and offers a meditative perspective on physical existence as impermanent and dependently arisen. May this volume help you see moments as moments—clearly, kindly, and to liberating effect. With Respect The Author Sao Dhammasami Bhikkhu Indasoma Siridantamahapalaka ( Pen Name)
