Beginning with the creation and structure of the Buddhist universe, Donald Lopez explores the life of the Buddha, the Dharma, monastic life and lay practice as well as the ultimate aim of Buddhism: to escape death forever through the achievment of enlightenment. Here he looks at several of the many ways in which the final goal of freedom has been sought: whether through meditation, devotion or by simply recognizing the enlightenment that already lies within us.Full of Buddhist stories - sometimes miraculous, sometimes humourous - Donald Lopez's rich and absorbing book offers a fresh, and much-needed, perspective on the Buddhist life.
