Life's Meandering Path: A Secular Approach to Gautama Buddha's Guide to Living, Paperback

Achieve a life of balance with Karma Yeshe Rabgye's eye-opening new book, Life's Meandering Path.

The thirty-eight principles set forth, based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha, comprise a basic guide to living for anyone seeking peace and harmony.

The value of such qualities as individual responsibility, rational thought and the fulfillment of social obligations are discussed-as well as exactly how to implement each of these principles into one's daily life.

It is not uncommon to experience a sense of fear or uncertainty in the oftentimes frantic, fast-paced world in which we live. But it is possible to move beyond those obstacles and that feeling of being overwhelmed, into a state where happiness and a lack of suffering dominate.

Learn how to juggle individual challenges, family obligations, social responsibility and personal growth while maintaining a vital sense of balance in the midst of a chaotic world.

All of this is possible without needing to call oneself a Buddhist or Christian or Muslim. Regardless of religion or faith, readers will learn how to achieve some much needed peace in this enriching guide to life.
