Distracted or misled by our preoccupations, misconceptions, and, most of all, our obsession with ourselves, we don’t see the world clearly. In our search for happiness and the good life, this is the main problem we face. But luckily there is a solution, and on the path to understanding it, we can make use of the rich and varied teachings that have developed over centuries of Buddhist thought.
• Shows readers how, by adopting ideas and practices from Buddhism, they can overcome the dissatisfaction and hopelessness that plague modern life.
• Covers a wide range of Buddhist ideas and practices, never focusing on a particular school or technique.
“[T]his useful work provides a happy harmony of temporal wisdom and transcendent habits for Buddhist beginners.” Publishers Weekly
