The Art of Awakening

Beginning with the image of the “Buddha among ordinary people,” this book goes beyond biography to systematically construct the Buddha’s “philosophy of awakening.” By explaining such ontological concepts as dependent origination and non-self, epistemological concepts such as mindfulness and right view, and ethical concepts such as compassion and the Middle Way, it reveals the contemporary value of the Buddha’s teachings as a philosophy of transformation and practice. It offers profound guidance to modern people seeking peace and meaning.
