Beyond the Edge of the Universe: A Steady Path of Mindfulness and Letting Go
Beyond the Edge of the Universe
If you’ve ever felt that there must be more to reality than what you see, this book begins exactly where your questions lead. When the world stops making sense, the most important answers are found not outside us, but within the very nature of our own mind. Life can leave the mind anxious, restless, and fearful.
We all crave lasting peace and happiness — not temporary relief from fleeting distractions. What if there were a way to experience true composure and joy, independent of anyone or anything?
Beyond the Edge of the Universe provides that path. Drawing on centuries-old Buddhist insights and modern scientific inquiry, Dr. Indu L. Shakya shows how mindfulness and direct observation can reveal the true nature of mind, reality, and consciousness. Far from abstract philosophy, this book is a practical guide for anyone seeking freedom from suffering and a mind that is steady, clear, and free.
The book offers a rare synthesis of contemplative wisdom and empirical inquiry, presenting consciousness as a frontier of legitimate scientific exploration. Drawing from neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and cognitive systems theory, Dr. Indu L. Shakya interprets the Buddha’s original teachings as a precise framework for investigating reality itself.
Explore the extremely subtle mechanisms of life and death, experience a dimension beyond suffering, space, and time, and witness the progressive stages of the voidness of all phenomena. With techniques rooted in the original Pāli Sutta texts, the path of Jhana, Arupa, Nirodha refined through TWIM 6R method, Dr. Shakya demonstrates how Nibbāna is real, attainable, and within reach for dedicated practitioners today.
Blending scientific depth with spiritual authenticity, this book offers a roadmap for clarity, stillness, and profound insight — a journey into consciousness and the cosmos that is both intellectual and experiential.

This book is unique in many sense in that, it offers an open and easily accessible accounts of nature of human experiences from two distinct lenses: science and spirituality. Without adhering to any religious views and persuasions, it unravels the nature of mind and what it means to be truly free.
It reveals a dimension of mind called Nibbana that the historical Buddha left 2600 years ago, is still possible to experience today. It explains what it means to experience such state with many practical examples.
In a deeply personal exploration of his meditative journey, the author takes readers through his progress from a confused individual to an experienced mediator. A fascinating read--albeit bit longer than for usual books--to see how transformation in someone's life can occur through gradual steps of letting go of all personalisation and developing genuine lovingkindness towards all.
