The Everything Buddhism Book: A Complete Introduction to the History, Traditions, and Beliefs of Buddhism, Past and Present

Author(s): Arnold Kozak

Mind, Body, Spirit

That's easy for the Dalai Lama to say. For the rest of us, it can be difficult to understand this multilayered faith. With this updated and revised primer, readers can delve into the principles of nonviolence, mindfulness, and self-awareness. From Tibetan Buddhism to Zen, they'll explore the traditions of all branches of Buddhism, including: the life of Buddha and his continuing influence throughout the world; what the Sutras say about education, marriage, sex, and death; faith-fueled social protest movements in Tibet, Burma, and elsewhere; the proven physiological effects of meditation and other practices; and, the growing impact of Buddhism on modern culture. Readers will discover the deceptively simple truths of this enigmatic religion and learn how to apply the tenets of Buddhism to their daily lives - and achieve clarity and inner peace.
