Unbinding: The Grace Beyond Self

An invitation to everyday mystics: unbind yourself from the causes of suffering and step into grace.

“We all want the freedom of sanity and peace, the undefended inclusiveness of love. We all want refuge in grace.”
—Kathleen Dowling Singh, from her introduction to Unbinding

Unbinding is a spacious and sophisticated unfolding of one of Buddhism’s subtlest foundational teachings—the truth of dependent origination—offered in an utterly intimate voice. Kathleen Dowling Singh offers lyrical reflections on timeless truths and contemplative exercises accessible to anyone, opening the door of insight to all. Drawing on the language and teachings of Buddhism, Unbinding invites everyday mystics from all traditions—or none—to encounter the sacred and experience grace firsthand. Singh shows how illusions of ego obscure our true, unbounded nature and trap us in suffering—as she helps the reader move ever more deeply into living from gratitude, wisdom, and love.
