Description

About the author

Contents

-In this simple but important volume, Stephen Batchelor reminds us that the Buddha was not a mystic who claimed privileged, esoteric knowledge of the universe, but a man who challenged us to understand the nature of anguish, let go of its origins, and bring into being a way of life that is available to us all. What the Buddha taught, says Batchelor, is not something to believe in but something to do-and as he explains clearly and compellingly, it is a practice that we can engage in, regardless of our background or beliefs, as we live everyday on the path to awakening.
