Book Description
What is Buddhism? In Buddhism is Not What You Think Steve Hagen, bestselling author of Buddhism Plain and Simple and a Zen priest, cuts through the many misconceptions surrounding Buddhism, and shows us its true purpose. Drawing on down-to-earth examples from everyday life, this practical and straightforward guide penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, open and honest? What can it bring to our lives? This book offers a profound and clear path to a life of joy and freedom.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We try to encapsulate our experience in frozen, changeless form: this means that. But Truth is not like this. It’s beyond the spin of paradox that Truth and Reality are glimpsed. If we would simply not try to pin Reality down, confusion would no longer turn us away. #2 We can free ourselves from paradox and confusion only when we set ourselves in an open and inquiring frame of mind while on guard not to impose our particular beliefs. If we’re after truth, we can’t start with any assumptions or concepts. #3 The Five Precepts are the basic tenets of Buddhism, and they are not commandments but descriptions of the moral stance that would necessarily be taken by one who is on the path to Awakening. To keep the Precepts, you must be here, right now, with what’s going on and not lost in thought or speculation. #4 The Buddhist precepts are about noticing how we do these things all the time. They help us come back to this moment, where Reality is experienced immediately, before we interpret anything.

Book Description
Buddhism Plain and Simple offers a clear, straightforward treatise on Buddhism in general and on awareness in particular. When Buddha was asked to sum up his teaching in a single world, he said, "Awareness." The Buddha taught how to see directly into the nature of experience. His observations and insights are plain, practical, and down-to-earth, and they deal exclusively with the present. Longtime teacher of Buddhism Steve Hagan presents the Buddha's uncluttered, original teachings in everyday, accessible language unencumbered by religious ritual, tradition, or belief.

Book Description
The widespread influence of Buddhism is due in part to the skill with which a way of liberation was refined by it's teachers and became accessible to people of diverse cultures.
