What is New Life, and how do we realize it? Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu explains our condition as instinct-driven human beings and how by bringing our instincts under control we can follow the high path into the New Life. He details how to use the four skills of mindfulness (sati), wisdom (panna), wisdom in action (sampajanna), and concentration (samadhi) to develop the mind toward liberation and genuine happiness. Meditation becomes our guide, the process for stilling the mind, focusing concentration, and gaining insight. Through meditation, wise contact transforms every moment of our daily experience and we no longer suffer at the whims of instincts. There is no self. There is no grasping. There is no clinging.
