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.

Book excerpt: DIV DIVDiscover the origins of Buddhism and its tenets from the seminal textsDIV /div/divDIVDrawn from the sacred books of Buddhism, this collection reveals the insights and beliefs at the heart of the world’s fourth-largest religion. Siddhartha Guatama, a sixth-century Hindu warrior prince, renounced the world in his search for the meaning of life and became the Buddha, or “Enlightened One,” while meditating at Bodh Gaya. /divDIV /divDIVFrom that moment forward the Buddha sought to share his own enlightenment with all of mankind. Through the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, the Buddha taught followers to let go of desire and worldly attachments in order to alleviate suffering while embracing practices of meditation, mindfulness, and right conduct. Covering the birth and death of the Buddha, as well as the major tenets of Buddhism, including karma and the middle doctrine, The Wisdom of Buddha offers a profound view of the Buddhist religion and its founder. /div /div

Book excerpt: Pearl of Wisdom, Book 1 is a compilation of prayers and practices that are commonly done in Tibetan Buddhism. Composed by realized sages, these are designed to elevate our mind by directing our thoughts toward lofty, beneficial topics such as the determination to be free from cyclic existence, bodhicitta-the heart aspiring to attain full awakening for the benefit of all beings-and the wisdom realizing reality. Since our mind, with its various thoughts and emotions, creates what we experience in life, directing our mind toward realistic and worthwhile subjects is both necessary and worthwhile. Using Pearl of Wisdom, Book 1 as a basis, and complementing it with instructions from a qualified spiritual mentor, you will be able to do this.
