Synopsis

The Eightfold Path is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha’s teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha’s very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of The Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision, and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.

A no-fluff guide to the 8-fold path, a little dry and I lost focus in parts, but it's not trying to be an entertainment book, it's more like a text book, setting out the path in a clear way so even laymen like me can follow it. Recommended.......more
