The Wisdom of the Buddha: Heart Teachings in His Own Words by Anne Bancroft (Eng

Description: The Wisdom of the Buddha by Anne Bancroft A treasury of teachings, stories, and sayings in the words of the Buddha himself--now part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series.Here is the core of the Buddhas teaching in his own words, as it was memorized word-for-word by his disciples and written down two hundred years after his death. These selections from the Buddhist scriptures deal with the search for truth, the way of contemplation, life and death, living in community, and many other topics, serving as an excellent introduction to the Buddhas teaching. Whether addressed to monks and nuns, householders, outcastes, or thieves, the Buddhas teachings are characterized by one main concern- conveying the reality of our bondage to suffering--and the supremely good news that liberation is possible. It is a concern as relevant for people today as it was for the people of north India more than 1,000 years ago.This book is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series. The Shambhala Pocket Library is a collection of short, portable teachings from notable figures across religious traditions and classic texts.
