Samsara: The Wheel of Birth, Death and Rebirth: A Journey Through Spirituality, Religion and Asia

Along comes a global pandemic coronavirus, COVID-19, and our world is turned upside down.
Can the idea of samsara shed any light on all this terrible suffering, turmoil and change?
Are we all travelling around the ever-turning cycle of samsara, being born, then dying, then reborn - again, and again, and again?
Does our life, the things that happen to us, and our death, have any meaning?
What do Hinduism, Buddhism, and samsara tell us about suffering, life and death?
Could spiritual dimensions exist or do we live in a purely material universe?
What is consciousness and does it die when our bodies die?
Are rebirth or reincarnation even possible?
What, if anything, might spirituality or religion mean in a turbulent and unpredictable
twenty-first century?
Can we have spirituality without religion?
Do mysticism, psychedelics, science and quantum physics offer clues to any of these questions?
Take a journey with the author through the fascinating cultures of Nepal, India, Bali and Cambodia and explore their rich traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and samsara.
Part exploration of spirituality and religion, part travel adventure to places of astonishing diversity, this book will get you thinking about your own beliefs, life and death, and where those might fit in to a bigger picture.
