The Wisdom of the Buddha Book PDF Summary
The Wisdom of the Buddha combines an in-depth introduction to Buddhism with the practicality of a spiritual self- help book. The first five chapters provide clear and insightful explanations of the foundation teachings of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, mindfulness meditation, and the nature of suffering and happiness.The next ten chapters bring Buddhist teachings to bear on transforming our lives: how to break the grip of habits, end arguments and power struggles, deal with difficult emotions and strong desires, see the essential nature of all addictions, deal with anxiety and depression, become more accepting, and cultivate compassion and reverence for all life. The final two chapters provide much needed insight into the Buddha's most difficult and freeing teachings of all: the true nature of the self (the "no self" teachings), relative and absolute truth, nirvana, impermanence, and our mistaken understandings of death.Simple and accessible language, practical techniques, numerous guided meditations, personal stories, and numerous quotations from master teachers are used to present an inspiring path toward deep personal transformation.
