Description

This book is a fascinating blend of simple, often untold insights into the teachings of the Buddha, interesting glimpses from the Buddha’s life and the author’s own understanding of the Dhamma.

It describes the Buddha’s immense respect for life and his belief in denouncing materialism for the good of the masses. According to the Buddha, violence begets violence, and fire can never douse fire. But love can win hatred. And a man at peace with himself will bring peace to the world.

The book explains, in very simple language, how easily one can make the Dhamma a part of daily life. Through its chapters, the book describes the Buddha’s life, his followers and the essence of his teachings.
