Buddhism: An Introduction to the Buddha's Life, Teachings, and Practices is an indispensable guide to a 2,600-year-old wisdom tradition that has transformed the lives of millions across centuries and around the world. Readers will learn how Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of all time, and discover how they too can follow his revolutionary methods to attain happiness and inner freedom. Along with accessible overviews of central teachings--the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, karma, core virtues like kindness and compassion, and more--Buddhism covers such basics as: - the three main Buddhist traditions--Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana--historically and their relevance today- the role of meditation and mindfulness in Buddhist practice

Nice book. Pictures and honest interviews and reports via credible down to earth persons.

Beyond Expectations
Format: Hardcover
Since I have had several experiences I am always looking for something legitimate -something that looks into the heart and truth of the material and comes out authentic to the core - I love this book - It far exceeds what I expected and am very happy I ordered it to add to my collection. This will be on the top of the stack! The only down side is that amazon packaged it rougly where it slid freely about in an overlarge box --This ended up tearing the top of the dj rear --- :( I do hope they do not pack all orders for this bk that way - if there are notes you can add to your order you might request book packaging or something more durable than sliding loosely about I found out about this book on the newsletter I receive from Shirley MacClaine - she always has valuable nuggets to share !!!
