The West is experiencing a widespread phenomenon of spiritual boundary crossing. A majority of Christian denominations are undergoing a sharp decline in membership and participation. At the same time, interest in Buddhism is expanding, capturing the attention of women and men who seek a spiritual path without the restrictive nature of dogmas and doctrines. Increasingly they are turning to Buddhist wisdom, which offers them inspiration and information for increasing happiness and making suffering less frequent. From the very beginning and continuing into the present era, Buddhism has consistently sought to help people cultivate kindness and compassion toward all beings while developing inner peace and outer joy. Some examples of this come directly from the Buddha who said, “You are what you think. All that you are arises from your thoughts. With your thoughts you make your world. Perform those actions you will never regret: actions that will ripen into future joy and delight. A tamed mind brings happiness.” This book is a primer for readers who seek to experience Buddhist wisdom, which can guide them toward greater awareness and awakening. Includes a Readers Guide.
