Synopsis

The wisdom of Buddhism lies in its eternal quest to see things as they really are, freed from the delusions created by egotism, greed, hatred and ignorance. Over the last two and a half thousand years, this deeply compassionate tradition has evolved into a philosophy of self-understanding that encourages a life of calm holiness. The distillation of Buddhist wisdom within this anthology draws upon a vast spectrum of writings, from the ancient "Dhammapada" to the words of the Dalai Lama, and gives guidance on everything from the path to happiness to coping with suffering. Whether turned to in times of trouble or simply for spiritual enlightenment, the book should be a source of timeless wisdom.
