Description
Modern Buddhism, Volume 1: Sutra focuses on basic Buddhist teachings and meditations, which everybody can practice straightaway. All the fundamentals of Buddhism meditation and philosophy are found here. Starting with an appreciation of our life and potential, we can gain a profound and practical understanding of our existential condition, and improve all good qualities of mind, including the supreme good heart of universal love and compassion. The explanation of the true nature of reality, ultimate truth emptiness, is very clear and powerful and, if practiced, will lead the reader to lasting mental freedom. A brief history of Kadampa Buddhism also shows how Buddha’s timeless teachings have traveled from teacher to student over thousands of years, and how people in the West are now applying what was once available only to mystics and monks—advice to solve our daily problems and accomplish the real meaning of our human life.

5By EcirbobThis book is packed with gems such as this one. Each sentence is a full teaching! "Kadam Lamrim is the great mirror of Dharma in which we can see the way things really are; and through which we can see what we should know, what we should abandon, what we should practise and what we should attain. And it is only by using this mirror that we can see the great kindness of all living beings."Amazing and very useful

5By yogurt0531This book has definitely provided me with great insight into the world of Buddhism, just realized how I can make myself feel better. After reading this book in isolation for several days, I had human contact with my friend again. And the point is I found her problems not worth worrying about as I considered the emptiness of them. I also feel more satisfied with my life.
