Essence and Path of Buddhism

This book offers a clear and easy-to-understand explanation of Buddhism, focusing on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. It emphasizes that Buddhism is an agnostic religion, neither acknowledging nor denying the existence of God. It teaches that living by a moral code is inherent in human nature, regardless of the existence of a higher power. The book explores the concept of “dukkha,” often translated as “suffering” but better understood as “anxiety,” “stress,” or “dissatisfaction.” It delves into the Buddha’s perspective on dukkha and how one can strive to live and move beyond it. The book also covers topics like Buddhist diversity and the principles of wisdom, ethical conduct, concentration, and nirvana. It is available for download on various devices.
