The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Buddhist Wisdom

Buddhism is one of the fastest-growing religions in the world. Why? Joyful Effort, Right Livelihood, Compassionate Living, Freedom from Suffering-such Buddhist principles offer a healing balance to the hectic, competitive, high-tech pursuit of one’s Dream. In Buddhism, many spiritual seekers find their true path to inner peace and happiness, regardless of hardship and circumstance. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Buddhist Wisdom offers an overview of Buddhist ancient spiritual tradition and focuses on three major traditions-Theravada, Zen, and Tibetan-and their impact on other cultures. It explains what to expect when visiting a Buddhist center and teaches how to meditate step-by-step. Here is an accessible, practical guidebook for how to live in harmony with ourselves, our communities, and our world.
