Förlagets beskrivning
Drawing on her own experiences, as well as those of her father - an ordained Buddhist monk for well over a decade - Duangta Mondi writes about how Buddhism shows how the key to a meaningful life is to live with the right thought, the right speech, and the right action; and how the right steps will lead you to the true happiness.
Happiness is here - today, now. If you know where to find it.
This is where A Beginner's Guide to Buddhism can, and will, help you.
Many people set off on the wrong route, always looking for the next opportunity, the next 'thing' that will provide the happiness and that much needed answer.
But if you keep searching like that, you will never experience the happiness you desire.
Why? Because true happiness and fulfilment lies within us
...within each and every person.
And, you don't need to go looking for what's already there.
You just need to realise this.
Again, this is where A Beginner's Guide to Buddhism can, and will, help you.
Four easy chapters will explain how Buddhism can help you in your daily life.
It can help you find the answers
It can help you understand why you are where you are.
And it can help you get to where you want to be. How will it Help You
This book has been written by a Buddhist with a non-Buddhist in mind.
