The book series about art of life base on buddhism philosopher : The Art of Lightness, Rolling the Mortar Downhill and Rolling the Mortar with Lightness

Khunying Chamnongsri‘s journey “inwards” has been a long and arduous one. She has documented it in her book Vicha Tua Bao (The Art of Lightness), which embraces a range of practical dharma tips for everyday use, and gives sensible and realistic advice for living happily, peacefully and harmoniously in society as we know it.

“It’s a fun book of my own views of life and the experiences of others with whom I came in contact with. I find life such a rich material for writing and for discovery.” she said. "I did not intend to write about dharma. Rather, it’s about my discoveries and ways of looking at things. It is just natural that humour and fun are a part of the fabric and, I suppose, of the dharma too.”

The value of dharma books aside, Khunying Chamnongsri said they cannot compare with the actual practice. “Like a scientist, a true practitioner needs to do the ‘experiment’ him – or herself, to explore the nature of the mind first-hand.”

  “Normally, we are too busy to see our real selves and to observe our own minds. But think of swimming: You have to keep practicing to improve your stokes and stamina so that if and when you find yourself in stormy waters, you will not drown.”
