Buddhism: Path to Nirvana

This book is an account of the Buddha's life, philosophy and thought, based particularly on original Buddhist sources with supporting quotations from the wealth of teachings of various Buddhist schools. In the book we discover that the Buddha's wise, pragmatic, and compassionate approach is reminiscent of that of all great spiritual teachers. The book suggests that as living examples of spirituality, speaking from direct and personal experience, the enlightened alone can help others travel the inner way to liberation and bliss. The book shows the essential unity of the teachings of the Buddha and other spiritual teachings of the time. Here we find in the Buddha's message the perennial invitation to abandon outer ritual and travel instead within ourselves, to transform and free ourselves through meditation.
