About this ebook
What do the Buddha’s teachings on suffering, mindfulness, and non-self mean in everyday life? This original, source-based introduction explores selected early Buddhist discourses through eighteen clear chapters on dukkha, the Four Noble Truths, ethical conduct, dependent origination, karma, rebirth, and nirvana. New contemporary examples make difficult ideas approachable while preserving their religious and historical context. The book also examines uncertainty about the Buddha’s life, women’s attainment, institutional hierarchy, and disagreements in interpretation. Includes a glossary and guided source notes. Part of Noetic Lantern: World Thinkers, Clearly. An independent critical introduction, not a translation or a promise of medical or spiritual results.
