Synopsis

The Buddha, who lived approximately 2500 years ago, is the central figure of the religion Buddhism which has more than a billion adherents all around the world today. The Buddha is considered by many to be the greatest teacher of wisdom, spirituality and enlightenment ever to live. Over the years the author of this book analysed and read from many teachers discussing the Buddha’s words and noticed time and time again that there is a lot of misunderstandings surrounding what the Buddha said. Sometimes people are only able to grasp a portion of the Buddha’s wisdom because they have not fully realized all of his more profound teachings within their own inner minds. To be able to understand the Buddha completely you must come to understand the true nature of reality. This book includes many quotes from the Buddha and explains the true meaning behind his words. The author elaborates and sums up the Buddhist doctrine, clearly explaining the methods necessary to reach enlightenment. He also explains the philosophical or spiritual realisations necessary to understand and embody the Buddha’s teachings. Vital Buddhist ideas are explained chapter by chapter, such as: Egotism Rebirth Or Reincarnation Thought Causality And Dependent Origination Karma Meditation Right Livelihood And Holistic Thinking The book does not confuse the Buddha's teachings as some other interpretations do. For example, "Rebirth" or "Reincarnation" is explained as a literal process that occurs upon death, whereas other confused teachers claim it is only a metaphorical process that occurs during this life. The author uses his own understanding of enlightenment to simplify and break down how these seemingly confusing teachings can make personal sense to you by guiding you through various methods of realization. Herein lies the advice that is necessary to reach happiness, peace, the end of suffering, nirvana, and spiritual enlightenment in this life!
