The Unfolding of Wisdom

Więcej o książce

This work provides a guide to the Buddha's path from start to finish. Drawing from his 25 years of experience in teaching in Buddhist mediation, the author describes how to choose a spiritual path and how best to apply oneself to that path. The text explores topics in Buddhism such as how to perfect ethical conduct, how to develop mindfulness in daily life, how to meditate, how to deal with the hindrances that obstruct successful practice and how to make the mind softer and more pliable through the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. The author also examines the final goal of the Buddha's path, that state known as "nibbana" or enlightenment, which lies beyond the relative, conditioned world. He stresses that it is always available to those who are really concerned in finding the true way.
