    About this audiobook

    Are you ready to free your mind and obliterate any stress you have at the moment? 

    You've come to the right place 

    Buddhism continues to grow in popularity in the Western world as more and more people become aware of Buddhist beliefs and Buddha's teachings about the purpose of life and how an individual can be the best version of himself on a daily basis. Approximately 350 million people around the world are already practicing Buddhism, and that number is growing every day. You probably already know that the Buddhist religion explains how to take a different view of personal desires and materialism, poverty and social inequalities, and how to overcome worldly attitudes and unimportant concerns.

    Buddhism is often seen by new practitioners as a religion. For many Buddhists, this is more of a way of life than a faith. Buddhists believe that meditation and other activities can lead to changes in themselves. Such improvements are aimed at creating knowledge, understanding, and compassion within, in order to attain spiritual enlightenment. 

    In This Book I Will Talk You About:

    • What Buddhism Is       
    • An Introduction To Buddhist Teachings And Philosophies       
    • The History Of Buddhism And The Life Of The Buddha          
    • Meditation In Tibetan Buddhism          
    • Buddhism In America  
    • Key Buddhism Concepts Such As Karma, Suffering, Samsara, And Nirvana  
    • The Four Noble Truths Of Buddhism
    • The Eightfold Path, The Five Precepts, And The Middle Way
    • The Three Universal Truths      

    And Many More

      This was a great book for me as I was interested in learning more about Buddhism. It was an easy read, but very informative. Perfect for someone with little to no knowledge of Buddhism.

      Coming from a place of a non beginner I found the book to be a little repetitive and in a couple of places contradictory. This is a very good place to begin and I found the timeline was extremely useful. I can see myself returning to it in the future. It provided a clear understanding of what was happening in the world related to Buddhism and I found it extremely helpful.

      There are some good and positive teachings that one can apply to real life even without becoming a buhddist. Chapter nine was a bit hard to understand for me.

      I have read a few books on Buddhism for beginners and they all seem to jump right in to how to practice. This book is different. This book gives a great foundation and an overview of what Buddhism entails without overwhelming the reader.

      The author does a nice job of reviewing the major principles of Buddhism. I was hoping for even more of a breakdown on Buddhism, but was very satisfied with the book. A great start if you are new to Buddhism.
