Publisher Description: Drawing on her own experiences, as well as those of her father - an ordained Buddhist monk for well over a decade - Duangta Mondi writes about how Buddhism shows how the key to a meaningful life is to live with the right thought, the right speech, and the right action; and how the right steps will lead you to the true happiness. Happiness is here - today, now. If you know where to find it. This is where A Beginner's Guide to Buddhism can, and will, help you. Many people set off on the wrong route, always looking for the next opportunity, the next 'thing' that will provide the happiness and that much needed answer. But if you keep searching like that, you will never experience the happiness you desire. Why? Because true happiness and fulfilment lies within us...within each and every person. And, you don't need to go looking for what's already there. You just need to realise this. Again, this is where A Beginner's Guide to Buddhism can, and will, help you. Four easy chapters will explain how Buddhism can help you in your daily life. It can help you find the answers It can help you understand why you are where you are. And it can help you get to where you want to be. How will it Help YouThis book has been written by a Buddhist with a non-Buddhist in mind. As His Holiness, the Dalai Lama said, "Don't use Buddhism to become a Buddhist. Use Buddhism to become better at whatever else in your life you are doing already." The author said that if she was non-Buddhist, this is the information that she would want to know about: Chapter 1. History and Essence of BuddhismThe opening chapter looks at:
Chapter 2 explains about the following:
Chapter 3 looks at the sacred activities, including the Buddhist Holy Days, festivals, and ceremonies. Chapter 4. Mind and Wisdom ExercisesThe final chapter looks at the mind and wisdom exercises: Wise Reflection and Insight Meditation. Written in a relaxed, easy to read and follow manner, A Beginner's Guide to Buddhism will open your path to a meaningful life. |
