Buddhism

"""This treasury of essential Buddhist writings draws from the most popular Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources.""

""Among the selections

are some of the earliest recorded sayings of the Buddha on the practice

of freedom, passages from later Indian scriptures on the perfection of

wisdom, verses from Tibetan masters on the enlightened mind, and songs

in praise of meditation by Zen teachers. The book also includes

traditional instruction on how to practice sitting meditation, cultivate

calm awareness, and live with compassion. Jack Kornfield, one of the

most respected American Buddhist teachers, has compiled these teachings

to impart the essence and inspiration of Buddhism to readers of all

spiritual traditions."""
