Modern Buddhism. The Path of Compassion and Wisdom
Modern Buddhism is a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings on compassion and wisdom that communicates their essence in a way that is easy to understand and put into practice.
By developing and maintaining compassion and wisdom in daily life, we can trasform our lives, improve our relationships with others and look behind appearance to see the way things actually exist. In this way we can solve all our daily problems and accomplish the real meaning of our human life. With compassion and wisdom, like the two wings of a bird, we can quickly reach the enlightened world of a Buddha.
This inspiring handbook of daily practice is perfectly suited for those seeming solutions within Buddhism to problems of everyday life, as well as for encouraging practitioners of all faiths to deepen their understanding and practice of the spiritual path.
The book is available to purchase in the centre’s bookshop.
