Reseña del editor:

The Buddha, who was born in north India approximately 2500 years ago, suggested that we all seek nirvana which the Buddha tells us is a state free from suffering. This book explores the Buddha’s way to nirvana, including the directions that the Buddha offers to help us to reach nirvana; the problems that the Buddha tells us we will encounter trying to reach nirvana; and finally, the strategies that the Buddha offers to help us to overcome these problems and to successfully follow his directions.Quotations are new translations from the Pali texts available today. All key words are linked to the original Pali words together with their meanings and nuances, allowing readers to explore the full richness of the original Pali words and to choose the meanings and nuances that they think better suit particular quotations.This book is part of the series ‘Ways of the World’ in which Gary explores different ways of the world that have helped to shape his mind – including religious, philosophical and secular ways. Books in this series currently include: ‘Exploring the Way of Epictetus’, ‘Exploring the Way of Epicurus’, ‘Exploring the Way of the Lao Tzu, ‘Exploring the Way of Jesus’, and this book ‘Exploring the Way of the Buddha’.
