To understand the Three Jewels is to understand the central ideals and principles of Buddhism.

Skilfully steering us through the difficulties we may encounter, Sangharakshita leads us through the sevenfold puja, a poetic sequence of devotional moods found in Tibetan and Indian forms of Buddhism.

In this book he describes some specific methods of personal development, a radical blueprint for a new society, and the Buddha's vision of human existence.

This small book explores ten basic Buddhist ethical principles and the liberating view of ourselves contained within them.

Soon after taking ordination as a Buddhist monk, the English author of this book moved to the town of Kalimpong, on the edge of the Himalayas.

The teaching of the Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.

Buddhism answers these questions through the Dharma, which is a traditional term meaning both "the truth" and "the path", and is the subject of this book, which offers a starter-kit of Buddhist teachings and practices.

Sangharakshita's vision shapes and enlivens this book, transforming Sangha from an idea to an inspiring and practical ideal. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

'Karma', 'Nirvana', 'Dalai Lama' ...Tibetan Buddhism is becoming increasingly common and fashionable in Western media - but this familiarity can cause its teachings and message to be misunderstood.
