Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An interesting interpretation of the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha, taking an alternative view to 'accepted' Buddhist tradition. Brazier argues that the Buddha did not say that enlightenment meant the end of suffering, but rather that suffering is noble and is part of an enlightened life (trust me, Brazier does a better job of explaining than me!) An interesting juxtaposition of psychology and Buddhist thought, this book would be an interesting read for Buddhist practitioners of various traditions. ( ) no reviews | add a review
This account explains how the Buddha's path of wisdom and loving kindness grew out of the challenges he encountered in life. It explores enlightenment, nirvana, and the Four Noble Truths, presenting a picture of the Buddha as a very human figure whose success lay not in his perfection, but in his method of positively utilizing the energy generated by personal suffering.
