Publisher's Synopsis
Buddhism has influenced Western thinking like no other Eastern religion. Even people who have no interest in adopting it wholeheartedly acknowledge
the wisdom of its philosophical insights. 365 Ways to Live a Buddhist Life
covers basic themes of universal relevance such as: the beauty of nature, good
and bad karma, the importance of empathy, how to deal with stress and anxiety,
how to meditate successfully, how to be happy, and the joy to be found in
service to others. Alongside these "pearls" of practical advice there are
"lanterns": lucid explanations of key Buddhist concepts that
illuminate Buddhist belief and practice, and enlightening accounts of key
moments, such as the Buddha's sermon in the Deer Park. The book itself is
compact, attractive and beautifully illustrated.
