Buddhism - The Buddhism guide for Buddhism beginners (Paperback)


If you wish to learn about Buddhism, this book will be your perfect starting point. The chapters of this book will show you the path towards awakening and ultimately enlightenment. Chapter 1 - What is Buddhism? A religion without God - does that sound interesting for you? In this chapter, you will learn the fundamentals of Buddhism and what it is truly about. Chapter 2 - Getting to Know Siddharta Gautama The first Buddha deserved the highest ups and the lowest lows. Would you believe that Siddharta Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, was a royal born who decided to be a pauper? He decided to leave his old life upon meeting an old man, a sick man, and a corpse. But did you know that he did not find the truth in both? This led him to craft the middle path, which we know now as Buddhism. Chapter 3 - The Four Noble Truths Learn more about the essential teachings of Buddhism. The Four Noble Truths should be remembered because these are the Buddhist's foundation of morals and wisdom. Chapter 4 - The Eight-Fold Path If you wish to reach the destination called Nirvana, you should follow a specific path. The roadmap that should be followed is the Eight-Fold Path. Chapter 5 - The Five Precepts The five precepts should not be taken as imperatives. These are not commands, rather they are simple recommendations to lead a healthy and happy life. Chapter 6 - How to Become a Buddhist Where do I start? This is a common question for beginners. Know exactly where you should position yourself by reading this important chapter of the compendium.
