Like its predecessor, Daily Wisdom, More Daily Wisdom draws on the richness of Buddhist writings to offer a spiritual cornucopia to illuminate life and inspire readers day after day, year after year. Sources span a spectrum from ancient sages to modern teachers, from monks to laypeople, from East to West, from poetry to prose. Entries come from some of Buddhism's most renowned figures: Bhante Gunaratana (Mindfulness in Plain English); Lama Zopa Rinpoche (Transforming Problems into Happiness); Lama Yeshe (Introduction to Tantra); Bhikkhu Bodhi; and, of course, the Buddha and other ancient luminaries. Subjects range from the contemplative (beginner''s mind, loving-kindness) to the curative (addiction, pain) to the charmingly commonplace (breakfast, tooth-brushing). The book's blend of useful insights for daily reflection, glimpses of Buddhist teachings, and moments of levity, along with its inviting layout and French flaps, makes More Daily Wisdom a thoughtful gift, a wonderful keepsake, and a tool for transformation.
