Many of us find ourselves trapped in a way of live over which we have little control. We are pulled along by our needs and desires, never realising that these are the very causes of suffering to ourselves and others.
Some 2500 years ago, the Buddha taught a way out of this trap, a way to a profound depth of clarity and wisdom.
This lucidly written guide is a practical and straightforward account of the Buddha's teachings, by a former journalist and Buddhist monk, who now runs one of the world's most respected retreat centres in Devon.
Throughout the book, Christopher Titmuss demonstrates how these teachings can impact on our own everyday lives, drawing on the experiences of real people. There are searching questions for us to ask ourselves, and suggestions for practical exercises and tasks.
