Summary

An insightful guide into one of the world’s three major religions and the wisdom behind its philosophy and teachings. 

There once was a prince who left everything; he had to walk the Middle Path and attain enlightenment. So moved was he by the sufferings and the plight of the people that he saw outside the palace walls that he left a life of wealth, riches, and everything that a prince could want to search for a way to end the cycle of suffering. His actions brought about the birth of one of the world’s most peace-loving religions. 

Any beginner who is looking to take up Buddhism is going to need Buddhism for Beginners in their library. Buddhism is one of the world’s three oldest religions, yet not many fully understand what this religion encompasses. Despite being a religion, the one notable thing about Buddhism that distinguishes it from the rest is that Buddhism does not worship any God or deity. Yes, Buddha was not a God; he was a person. A former prince maybe, but not a God. 

Prince Siddhartha Gautama was the very first Buddha to walk the earth, and since then, several Buddhas have come and gone. Buddha is not a person, but a name for those who have managed to successfully attain what all Buddhists seek to do: attain Nirvana (Enlightenment). If you were wondering why the statues of Buddha always seem to be depicted differently, this is one of the reasons why. Prince Siddhartha was the first, but he certainly was not the last. 

Buddhism is a religion that focuses on teaching its followers about suffering, the causes of suffering, and what they can do to end the cycle. Suffering is an inevitable part of life, yet it is a part that nearly everyone strives or deny. Yet, Buddhism believes that the key to happiness lies in our ability to embrace the sufferings of this life, and develop a greater understanding of the world around us so that we might one day no longer be afflicted by the pain that suffering brings. 

This is the ideal guide for anyone who is looking to broaden his or her understanding of this remarkable religion and the way its teachings can transform the way that we live. What Buddhism for Beginners is going to cover includes:

  • A historical look at Buddhism and the story of a prince
  • How Buddhist philosophy can be used to live a better life 
  • A look at life, death, and spirituality
  • Understanding what it means to be a Buddhist
  • An introduction into the gestures, right discipline, and practices
  • The benefits of Buddhism
  • Understanding suffering, karma, reincarnation, and yoga
  • What the life of a Buddhist is like
  • The practices you can implement in your life
  • Mindfulness and acceptance techniques to help manage stress and anxiety
  • A Buddhist’s diet
  • Meditative practices
  • What you didn’t know about Buddhism

You don't have to be Budda

Just plain and simply a great book to listen. Very interesting concepts and ideas. A lot of things in there I listen took many years of living to realize. What comes around, goes around... Karma explained.... and lots more good stuff. You can read any chapter in any order... The book made me want to listen to it!
