When The Iron Eagle Flies

When the Iron Eagle Flies is a complete meditation course from one of the West's most beloved Buddhist teachers. In her usual direct style, Ayya Khema points us toward the middle path — a path of simplicity. Her teachings unfold simply, free of jargon, and are ideal for a contemporary world where the fevered pursuit of pleasure and comfort leaves us "like children playing in a house on fire, refusing to let go of our toys." A practical guide to building meaning through awareness, When the Iron Eagle Flies contains a wealth of exercises and advice to help the reader along the path. Ayya Khema grounds her teaching in ordinary, everyday experiences, and gradually reveals how to gain access to liberation and freedom.
