DESCRIPTION
Picture yourself facing a personal problem or dilemma. Before acting, you stop and ask yourself one simple question: What would Buddha do? It 's a helpful and reassuring question. Asking it gives a breathing space,the moment of reflection it takes to find the right answer. Teaching by example, author Franz Metcalf applies this principle to 101 problems that we often confront in our everyday lives. He explains how Buddha would handle the many trials of contemporary life and shows how 2500 years of Buddhist teachings can guide us even in our modern society. Open the book at any page and you will find a specific and relevant question, answered with a Buddhist teaching and further advice from the author. Part personal growth and part spirituality, What Would Buddha Do? will help you find your own Buddha Nature and allow that Nature to guide you through life. While author Franz Metcalf's credentials include a PhD in religion from the University of Chicago, his true abilities shine through in his sensitivity and sense of humour. He applies the profound teachings of the Buddha in a simple and straightforward manner to questions of materialism, relationships and personal identity. Plumbing the deep reservoir of Buddhist practices and texts, he finds solutions to everyday dilemmas about stress, love and personal values.
