Description
A relaxed chat with the Buddha tells us
what he thought about impermanence, karma, mindfulness, compassion, love, and
everything else that leads us toward a true understanding of ourselves and the
cosmos.
We know him as the Buddha, the "Awakened One".
Born Siddhartha Gautama 2,500 years ago in northern India, he became one of the
world's greatest spiritual leaders. He suffered as we do, then by his own efforts
found the key to liberation from the bonds of desire, hatred and ignorance. As
Westerners living in relative prosperity, we can identify with this man who had
it all - love, success, money, talent, privilege - but set these things aside
to search for something deeper and more enduring. This book presents an account
of the Buddha's life followed by a series of plausible and illuminating but
imagined conversations, which probe all aspects of his philosophy for living. The
insights he conveys here offer us practical wisdom for a better life.
