Talking Books on Buddhism S.
2 total works
A journey straight to the heart of Buddhism. The book is divided into three sections: the ideal of human enlightenment, the true purpose of meditation and the importance of spiritual community.
The image of the Buddha, cross-legged and meditating, appears increasingly in magazines and on television in the West. But who was the Buddha?
Here we see the Buddha as a historical figure, a warrior prince searching for the truth; in the context of the evolution of the human race, as the pinnacle of human perfection; and as an archetype.
