Description
Many people come to Buddhism with one key question arising. Is Buddhism a religion, a philosophy, an approach to life? What is it? This book will allow you to draw your own conclusion to this. The author's personal view is that Buddhism can and does include all of these areas and excludes none. It is very much a personal choice. You make Buddhist practice yours! This book contains inspirational thinking and approaches to take the transformational practice of Buddhist meditation into your own life.
