Preface
The following essay is an attempt to express a Buddhist response to certain aspects of ourhuman condition in a contemporary language and way of thinking. Some of the terminologyand concepts I have used are loosely based upon sections of Martin Heidegger’s
Being andTime,
in particular his explanations of ‘falling’ (
das
 
Verfallen),
anxiety and death. Moreover,the present text seeks to elaborate on several themes introduced in my book
 Alone WithOthers: Outlines for an Existential Approach to Buddhism
(New York: Grove Press, 1983).I would like to thank both Bhikkhu Bodhi and Michael Roehm (Srāmaṇera Khema) fortheir assistance in bringing this text to publication.Stephen Batchelor(Gelong Jhampa Thabkay)Song Kwang SaKorea, 19823
