Description
|
|
|
|
This chunky little book is filled with the evergreen wisdom of the Buddha, decorated throughout with colorful artwork inspired by the Buddhist traditions of Central and Southeast Asia. Here are teachings from such sources as the Zen philosophy of Japan and the tantric practices of Tibet, as well as contemporary Buddhists and Western thinkers—whether they recognize their dharmic wisdoms or not: "The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth" (Pierre Abelard). Even if you have no intention of becoming a Buddhist, the insights here could inform any life.
