Buddhism : everything you need to understand this ancient tradition / Jacky Sach.
"Walk your talk. Be present. Take a deep breath. These timeless Buddhist tenets have made their way into our modern culture--yet to many people, this ancient tradition remains a mystery. For a greater understanding of this faith based on the principles of compassion and nonviolence, you need to look no farther than [this book]. This engaging and enlightening volume examines the Buddha's core teachings, explores the ways and means of enlightenment, and elucidates the mystical aspects of Buddhism. From the four noble truths and the eightfold path to reincarnation and the Dalai Lama, you'll learn how these age-old Buddhist precepts can apply to your life in today's world--one breath at a time."--Back cover.
