Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism has influenced Western thinking like no other Eastern religion, and even people who have no interest in adopting it wholeheartedly, acknowledge the wisdom of its philosophical insights. 1001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom is an inspiring collection of the wisest, most enlightening and most comforting Buddhist thought, drawn from the various schools within this ancient spiritual tradition. The book 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. Part one examines the life of the Buddha, his place in history and his teachings. Part two illustrates Buddhist thought with quotes - the wealth of quotations comes from teachers, thinkers and gurus through the ages and across the world, from the Buddha himself to Arthur Schopenhauer and other (not necessarily Buddhist) thinkers of the European tradition, as well as leading Buddhists of today such as the 14th Dalai Lama. Part three demonstrates how the Buddha is all around us and how we can embrace that into our lives. Full of accessible Eastern wisdom, this is a book to explore in a spirit of joyous, hopeful adventure - there is so much here to inspire, instruct, and help you find the road to inner peace and happiness... and even, perhaps, nirvana.
