Understanding Buddhism: Explore The Connection Between Buddhism And The Modern World

This book presents clearly the unique perspective Buddhist thought can contribute to our modern post-religious Western society and common misunderstandings of this system.

Through this book, you will discover new insight into Buddhism's encounter with Western culture and the Western mind in the early 21st century. The author draws on that knowledge and experience to explain the space that now exists for Buddhism in the West, and identifies critical conflicts and tensions that must be resolved for modern Westerners to grasp the essence of the Buddhist teachings.



The book culminates with detailed instructions in the meditation system of 'The Four Immeasurables', allowing the reader to properly orientate themselves within the world of Buddhism and learn how to practice.
