The Life of the Buddha: the Most Influential Biography of the Buddha in the World

The Fax of the Buddha is a good book and worth reading. It interprets the life of Buddha Sakyamuni from a historical perspective, making readers feel particularly real and close. The author uses simple and clear Buddhist thoughts and theories in the language of Buddha, making readers feel close to nature. It is simple, clear and easy to understand. It also makes readers want to understand more deeply, and drives readers' desire to explore the story. In short, this is a good book that combines biography and Buddhist thought guidance. It is recommended to read.

"Like bubbles in a dream, like dew or like lightning, it should be viewed as such." The book explains the Buddha's teachings in different periods in great detail, starting from the lecture on mindfulness under the Bodhi tree and the Four Noble Truths in Sarnath, to the final lecture on the emptiness of dependent origination for the disciples. The random teachings of the Buddha are really fascinating. It is said that the Buddha has passed away more than 2,500 years ago, but at that time the white clouds were still in the sky, the road was still under your feet, and everything that had arisen had not disappeared. If one day we can truly understand this principle instead of absorbing it conceptually, we should be able to understand life and death.

The book "The Life of the Buddha" is a summary of the life of Gautama Buddha. As a Buddhist book, it is very suitable for people who are new to Buddhism. It answers the doubts of beginners: What does Buddha mean? Who is Gautama Buddha? How did he become enlightened? What did he realize? How did he create Buddhism? How does he face the various uncertainties in life? Thich Nhat Hanh himself is a Zen master with deep cultivation. I once listened to his lectures. He spoke slowly and slowly about various realities, which made me feel a sense of tranquility from the bottom of my heart. This feeling spread throughout my body, making me suddenly happy. The same is true for his writing. He uses the most basic description to smooth out the most complicated life, making it effortless to read. Following his words, readers seem to see the Buddha's compassionate smile, hear the Buddha's wise words, be among the Buddha's Sangha, and be deeply immersed in this sea of ​​tranquility. The book mixes the Buddha's experiences and Buddha's teachings in chronological order. It seems that we are friends who accompanied the Buddha from the very beginning until he entered Nirvana. We are fortunate to understand the life of an enlightened being from a third perspective, and from it, we can understand the second half of our own lives that we are about to begin. I give this book to everyone I know and will soon know, and tell them that this is a book that you can open at any age and gain ultimate tranquility and supreme wisdom. I also send this sentence to everyone who reads this book review. I hope that you and I will understand the truth, understand the mind and nature, break the confusion and enlightenment as soon as possible, and become Buddha as soon as possible, Namo Amitabha.

The writing is really good. I understand the life experience of Buddha without any strange force. I hope that the more books that open up wisdom, the better.

Directly hitting the soul, it can make your restless heart find its home, it can make you see that there is light everywhere in life, and it can bring you unprecedented peace and tranquility! Please try to take a look!

People are trapped in an endless sea of ​​suffering because of their wrong views: they believe that impermanent things are permanent; things without self-nature have independent entities; things without birth and death have birth and death; and they regard the indivisible things as different parts. The Buddha then directed his insight to all mental states that produce suffering—fear, anger, hatred, pride, envy, greed, and ignorance. His attentive awareness burned like the blazing sun, and he used the light of this awareness to illuminate the nature of all negative mental states. He saw that they all arise due to ignorance. They are the opposite of mindfulness. They are darkness - the absence of light. He realized that the key to liberation is to get rid of ignorance and go deep into the reality to directly experience it.

What is it that allows us to see Buddha's enlightenment? There is no superstition, only a deep understanding of the selflessness, impermanence, and self-nature of life, which allows me to transcend the grievances and resentments in my heart. Peace of mind. I highly recommend it! ! !

I like to hear stories about Buddhism

The content is authentic and colorful! A detailed and vivid description of the great life of Buddha! The sermons and teachings of the Buddha are very specific and can really reach the level of what the Buddha taught! You can be liberated and enlightened!

I am grateful to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. I am grateful to Thich Nhat Hanh. This book allows me to see a live, true, lovely, amiable, and respectable Buddha and monks. I deeply feel that compassion is not indifference, but a kind of wisdom that recognizes the impermanence of the world. Who said that the monks and Dharma are heartless, but the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are actually the most affectionate. This book made me realize deeply. However, there is a long distance between knowing and doing. The unity of knowledge and action should be practiced. I hope that I can truly integrate Buddhism into my life as the Buddha said. Understanding, Awareness, and Observing the Present Moment. This book is worth reading again and again. I believe I will gain new insights every time I read it, and it will also deepen my understanding of the present moment.

Thich Nhat Hanh calmly and charmingly told the complete life of the Buddha Sakyamuni from his birth, growth, becoming a monk, practicing, attaining enlightenment, propagating the Dharma, and finally passing away. It seems that the world discovered for the first time from "The Life of the Buddha" that the Buddha was never a god, but a human being. He did not have any supernatural powers, and he would be confused and in pain just like us. He also had a family, a wife and a son, but he left them and embarked on the path of practicing Buddhahood and saving all sentient beings alone. The Buddha in the book is not only great and compassionate, but also real and lovely.

I can't bear to put it down after seeing it. Easy to understand and step by step. Finished watching it for the second time

The Buddha's teachings all come from life. There is no superstition and they are all truth.

Buddhism is one of the three major religions in the world and has profoundly influenced the religious thought of China and India. This book is a biography covering the life and teachings of Buddha (Sakyamuni). Due to the widespread influence of the Buddha, there are many different biographies of the Buddha in the world, each with its own unique perspective and style. Based on traditional stories and scriptures about the Buddha, this biography describes the Buddha from his birth to his enlightenment, as well as his subsequent teachings and influence. This book narrates the life and teachings of Buddha in the form of a novel, while also demonstrating the core concepts and wisdom of Buddhism.

All dharmas are impermanent. Birth and death have ceased. Desolation is bliss.

Every time I open this book, I feel very calm and full of strength, as if the stress and worries in work and life are cured by the moment I read the words. No matter how terrifying and boundless the darkness is, as long as a beam of light comes in, the darkness will disappear automatically. The Buddha got rid of ignorance and delusion, looked at all things with compassion, and transcended life and death. I initially thought that the book would make the ending of Buddha more mythical, but seeing that he also passed away like ordinary people made disciples and readers better understand the true meaning of transcending life and death. I know that my deceased relative exists in my body and in everything in the world. I can feel her presence as soon as I raise my head or open my eyes.

A journey to peace of mind. A trace of regret swirled in my heart, why is there not such a good biography of Confucius! ! !

The heart is like a wall, blocking the growth from the outside and growing naturally from the inside, allowing you to enter the Tao.

After reading this book, I feel like my heart has been cleansed. What I didn't understand before, I couldn't see through, and couldn't let go, now I can completely let go through the wisdom of the Buddha. Let me understand how to get along with myself and get along with others

After watching the Buddha TV series, I came back to read the Buddha's teachings. I really benefited a lot and changed my mind greatly. It is a book that everyone must read in their lifetime. I highly recommend it!

Dependent origination, reality, no self, no action, no birth and no death!

Because I want to cling to all the empty flowers and wander around as a wanderer. The wind of karma lingers in my heart, and my absurd thoughts bring me shame. The heart is like an angry wave that is turbulent and disappears, recognizing the thief as a treasure and finally awakening. Thoughts come from thoughts and I am me, thoughts come from me and give birth to me and not me. When I first followed Buddhism and learned the essence of the Dharma, non-birth means the birth of all thoughts. Don't think that all thoughts mean no birth, and all thoughts and obsessions mean no birth. When thoughts arise and thoughts fall without traces, then there is the true Dharma seal of no birth.

I heard Master introduce this influential book [Like]

In the past, when I read other biographies of the Buddha, they all described the Buddha as a "god", which seemed distant and made me feel disgusted. And this book explains that the Buddha is a living person, a person with awareness and enlightenment, just like a wise friend around him.

Lively, interesting and meaningful! It is a rare non-preachy Buddhist book. The story is told in a plain, lively, interesting and touching way!

I love this book so much that I plan to reread it at least 10 times. After reading the book a thousand times, its meaning becomes apparent. There are no strange powers or gods, no worship of Buddha statues, but a comprehensive and vivid description of the Buddha's birth, growth, becoming a monk, practicing, becoming enlightened, propagating the Dharma, and finally disappearing. Among them, it is repeated many times, listing various vivid life stories, and interpreting the logical relationship that color is emptiness and emptiness is color. Benefited a lot! Thank you😊The existence of this book will be passed down forever.

Realized selflessness, linked to Buddha [love] [love] [love]
