Really great book on how to conduct yourself in the pursuit of happiness. Not surprisingly this is, apparently the author's best known book. Covers all aspects of the Eight Fold Path, without (well hardly any) mysticism. Practical instructions in layman's terms. ( ) Rapido progresso tecnologico. Aumento della ricchezza. Stress. Vite e carriere sicure minacciate dal mutamento incalzante. Il ventesimo secolo? No, il sesto avanti Cristo, un'epoca di conflitti destabilizzanti, insicurezza economica e una grave e diffusa crisi dei modelli di vita tradizionali, proprio come ai nostri giorni. In circostanze molto simili a quelle odierne, il Buddha scoprì una via alla felicità duratura. La via del Buddha alla felicità comporta l'esercizio della consapevolezza, fino a che questa non diventa parte integrante della vita quotidiana. La consapevolezza può migliorare molto la qualità della nostra vita, ma ciò che suggerisce il Buddha va oltre. Quello che illustra è un percorso verso la felicità, riassunto in otto passi. This is a pragmatic manual for day-to-day Buddhist practice following the traditional eight steps proposed by the Buddha. The steps are interpreted for contemporary westerners in an engaging, subtle, and good-humored manner. Practicality is emphasized. I go back to this book a lot. Lots of good suggestions. Constructive attitude. Eight steps are discussed to help follow the Buddha’s path. The steps offer insight and a guideline to lead to the ultimate goal of enlightenment. The steps listed are: Skillful Understanding, Thinking, Speech, Action, Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness, and Concentration. If followed correctly the burdens of every day life will be dealt with and handled and a sense of happiness and contentment will take the place of such negative feelings only allowing positive thoughts to enter and linger. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
