Buddhist Wisdom: Daily Reflections - Softcover
Buddhism is a tradition that offers all individuals, regardless of religious persuasion, a way of exploring the true role and purpose of our lives as human beings. Buddhist Wisdom will enable the reader to incorporate the Buddha's greatest teachings into their daily life.
David Crosweller's collection of extracts and sayings can be used each day or at random to help face a particular issue, problem or simple uncertainty. Buddhist Wisdom includes a short Introduction offering a basic overview of the life of the Buddha and his teachings, and how Buddhism as a way of life has spread around the world. Throughout, the book is illustrated with carefully selected, mood-setting photographs that perfectly capture the atmosphere of traditional Buddhist people, their sacred places, and monuments. It concludes with a Buddhist calendar of special celebration days and festivals throughout the year.

From Publishers Weekly:
This day-by-day collection of Buddhist wisdom invites readers to explore brief, pithy statements, many of which are drawn from the Dhammapada. Crosweller advises readers to "give themselves time to absorb" the short meditations contained here, since at first glance they seem deceptively simple: an aphorism here, a platitude there. The tiny, square paperback format may also lull the unsuspecting into imagining that this is a trite, undemanding introduction to Buddhism. But readers who are willing to dig a little deeper will find that this carefully selected collection has much to offer. In addition to the daily meditations, the book has an unusual appendix of sacred observances and holidays in the Buddhist year, and tools for further exploration in the form of books and organizations.
