Book excerpt: “Writing a ‘nuts and bolts’ guide that is genuinely wise, charmingly conversational, and a pleasure to read requires a particular talent, and Jean Smith has proved once again that she has it.”—Sylvia Boorstein, author of Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There The third of Jean Smith’s Beginner’s Guides focuses on the Buddha’s Eightfold Path—the concepts central to practicing the Buddha’s teachings in daily life. The eight steps on the path are: right understanding, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. Smith explains exactly what the Buddha had in mind, using translations of his own words and then elucidating them for us. Throughout the book are wonderful quotes from a broad range of Buddhist teachers, giving a taste of the very best each of them has to offer. The Beginner’s Guide to Walking the Buddha’s Eightfold Path is a prescription for happiness, not just for overcoming suffering, which is how many people think of Buddhism. Here is a book for Buddhists of every tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Buddha's teaching really? What we're really talking about is love. We're talking about kindness and compassion, and about how to remove and release the grasping of duality. This isn't only taught in Buddhism. The nature isn't dominated by any one tradition. The nature is free, open, and relaxed.The Buddha simply pointed out the way the nature is. This is what the gracious teacher Buddha taught and what he practiced. His actions followed his words. He was humble and simple, and walked with bare feet, holding an alms bowl, picking up his own food along with his students.The Buddha loved all living beings like his only child. Love and compassion have no boundaries. We need to reactivate these beautiful qualities within ourselves. This will make our lives meaningful. We will be happy, peaceful, and joyful in this life, and we will leave this life with joy, peace, and happiness. We will also leave a good legacy and example for our family members, friends, neighbors, and for everyone we're connected with.

Download or read book Waking the Buddha written by Clark Strand and published by Middleway Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there more to Buddhism than sitting in silent meditation? Is modern Buddhism relevant to the problems of daily life? Does it empower individuals to transform their lives? Or has Buddhism become too detached, so still and quiet that the Buddha has fallen asleep? Waking the Buddha tells the story of the Soka Gakkai International, the largest, most dynamic Buddhist movement in the world today—and one that is waking up and shaking up Buddhism so it can truly work in ordinary people’s lives. Drawing on his long personal experience as a Buddhist teacher, journalist, and editor, Clark Strand offers broad insight into how and why the Soka Gakkai, with its commitment to social justice and its egalitarian approach, has become a role model, not only for other schools of Buddhism, but for other religions as well. Readers will be inspired by the struggles and triumphs of the Soka Gakkai’s three founding presidents—individuals who staked their lives on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and the extraordinary power of those teachings to help people become happy.

Book Synopsis Walking with Buddha by : A. P. Ransome
Download or read book Walking with Buddha written by A. P. Ransome and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 11, 2001, A. P. Ransome watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell in New York. It was nearly more than he could bear to witness. Just three days earlier, his brother collapsed at his mother’s home. A.P. rushed to his brother’s aid but didn’t understand why a loving God would allow his brother to die. Despite the best efforts of the emergency responders, his brother passed away that day. Left with the painful task to write his brother’s eulogy, the realization that America was under attack was devastating. His grief was debilitating and life-changing. His friends and family advised him to get help, but he was lost. His role had always been to provide advice to others; how could he now be the one without answers? Wracked with fear, he struggled for meaning. Walking with Buddha was born of a grieving brother’s attempt to understand the journey of those left behind. This book of poetry and prose is part of his journey, filled with inspiration about life, emotions, contemplations, and philosophy. Through these words, the author hopes to inspire others who grieve and wonder. May your Buddha be there for you, to hold your hand and guide you to that which your soul desires. When all appears lost, may you find the strength and love to recover from the unthinkable. May you be at peace with the world and with yourself.
