Gotama Buddha once spoke of a raft built from the materials at hand - a vessel for crossing the flood of birth and death.

Through a constellation of aphorisms and contemplations, he explores the nature of mind, craving, identity, and the wheel of becoming. Drawing upon Buddhist philosophy, Kantian thought, and modern psychology, these meditations trace how consciousness is construct...
Gotama Buddha once spoke of a raft built from the materials at hand - a vessel for crossing the flood of birth and death. In Across the Flood, Dinuka Mapa reimagines that raft for the modern age - as a spacecraft assembled from insight, reflection, and meditation, capable of navigating both the inner and outer infinities of existence. Through a constellation of aphorisms and contemplations, he explores the nature of mind, craving, identity, and the wheel of becoming. Drawing upon Buddhist philosophy, Kantian thought, and modern psychology, these meditations trace how consciousness is constructed - and how it may be freed. At once poetic and analytical, ancient and futuristic, Across the Flood examines the psychological architecture of Samsara - from consumerism and capitalism to the illusions of self and modern spirituality - revealing that liberation is not found in escape, but in understanding. Each insight serves as a component or part in the reader's own vehicle of awakening; a fragment of the spacecraft built from wisdom rather than belief. When the final piece is placed, and the launch begins, one sees the truth of all vessels - that they, too, must be left behind.
