By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading.

This book tells us how to understand the nature of life, that is, life habit energies and habitual mental operation modes; how to observe the life benefits projected by different mental models, and see through the causes behind them. In this book, teacher Zhi Xin shared the mystery of how ordinary people can really play to lead a happy life. Everything he shared comes from his own spiritual practice for decades, through which he has successfully proved in person all kinds of mysterious manifestations, and then summed them up into a very clear principal and shared it with everyone without reservation. This mystery lies in every one of us. Although everyone is born with self-sufficient innate freedom and perfect wisdom in life, one may desend from realization to confusion because one may acquire wrong knowledge or understanding during the course of life. Such false belief may even evolve or expand to become the confusion and/or pain of life, the joys and sorrows of families, the contradictions and struggles between countries, and the various crises that mankind is currently facing. Under any of these circumstances, it will become an unattainable luxury for one to live happily and freely! Even the most basic demands of human beings who just want to survive can be totally destroyed by the driving mode of opposition and confrontation with each other! Therefore, the launch of this book is like a lighthouse in the dark night, making it full of hope as long as he or she truly masters the mystery of operating life shared in this book. As this book says, it only takes three years to cleanse our destiny, and then we can get back all the innate good things that we owned at birth! This book emphasizes this dharma of mind repeatedly. With the help of the complete wisdom arising from the book, we can break the delusion layer by layer until we can see clearly the truth of life. It is the moment when we will free ourselves from eternal imprisonment and give out a hearty laugh from the bottom of our heart!
