This user's guide to Buddhist basics takes the most commonly asked
questions--beginning with "What is the essence of the Buddha's
teachings?"--and provides simple answers in plain English. Thubten
Chodron's responses to the questions that always seem to arise
among people approaching Buddhism make this an exceptionally
complete and accessible introduction--as well as a manual for
living a more peaceful, mindful, and satisfying Life. "Buddhism for
Beginners" is an ideal first book on the subject for anyone, but
it's also a wonderful resource for seasoned students, since the
question-and-answer format makes it easy to find just the topic
you're looking for, such as:
- What is the goal of the Buddhist path?
- What is karma?
- If all phenomena are empty, does that mean nothing exists?
- How can we deal with fear?
- How do I establish a regular meditation practice?
- What are the qualities I should look for in a teacher?
- What is Buddha-nature?
- Why can't we remember our past lives?
