Books
For more than 2,500 years, Buddhism has inspired people to develop profound wisdom about their own nature through a training of the mind. The goal is a mind that is light, free, energetic and present – free from heavy emotions and thoughts. So the focus is development of human qualities – not an all-powerful creator.
Such a quality of life is the result of a spiritual awakening taught by Buddha, with the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path at its core.
And those who pick up this training start corresponding development, gradually and over a longer period of time, and get results according to their own efforts and starting point.
But Buddhism is profound, complex, challenging and with a long time horizon.
Good and inspiring books are important for this training, and we have made a small overview that can help you along the way!
