Description:Explore the foundations of Buddhism the path out of suffering and the true nature of self, life, and reality with thisplain-English primer. Three great teachings of the Buddha laid down the bedrock of Buddhist thought and practice.

We begin with the Pali Canon, the earliest record of the Buddha s teachings, and then move through the earthshatteringPerfection of Wisdomliterature of the second turning. Finally, Coleman s clear and simple presentation of the monumental Samdhinirmocana Sutra, or Sutra of the Explanation of the Profound Secrets, ties the Buddha s wisdom together for us. The book concludes with chapters from two great teachers, one from the Zen tradition and one from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, showing us how to use meditation to bring the Buddha s wisdom into our lives.
