All kinds of worries-worries about losing people and things, worries about how we seem to others-keep us from peace of mind. Distracted or misled by our preoccupations, misconceptions, and, most of all, our obsession with ourselves, we do not see the world clearly-we do not see the world as it really is. In our search for happiness and the good life, this is the main problem. But luckily there is a solution, and on the path to understanding it, we can make use of the rich and varied teachings that have developed over centuries of Buddhist thought. This book explores the central elements of centuries of Buddhist philosophy and practice, explaining how they can improve life and teach how to live without fear. Mining important texts and lessons for practical guidance, it provides a guide to the very practical goals that underpin Buddhist philosophy. After laying out the basic ideas, the text walks readers through a wide range of techniques and practices we can adopt to mend ingrained habits"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 294.3444 Bo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.3444 Bo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.3444 Bo Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.3444 Bo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
