Book Description
About the Book

Most people would have probably heard the word 'Buddha', and again most would equate it to the prince Gautama Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism. However, the word 'Buddha' literally means 'the enlightened one'. And moreover, we all have the potential of becoming a Buddha, or rather realising our Buddha nature.

There are several books readily available on Buddhism delving into all aspects - historical facts, spiritual teachings, sutras, light reading for the casual reader, and profound discussions for the more cerebrally inclined. Then what is different about this book, what can another author say that has not already been said, you may ask.

Well, this is no ordinary author. This is not another literary scholar who has studied the scriptures, interpreted the knowledge, and presented his or her own understanding of the scriptural texts. This is an enlightened master who has actually, literally, experienced the veritable truth at firsthand - the same truth that was experienced by Gautama Siddhartha and all other enlightened masters. After all, truth is not of different kinds. There is only one universal truth. And the one who has experienced that truth, has shattered his ignorance forever, broken free of all bondages and delusions, is a Buddha.

About the Author

Revered master Anandmurti Gurumaa is one such living Buddha. So, in effect, a 'Buddha' has written about, not only the Buddha that Gautama Siddhartha was, but the Buddha that resides within all of us. It cannot get more authentic than that! Furthermore, the language is simple as this is a compilation of live talks given to a gathering of masses. This book is meant for all those who want to tread the journey from the Buddha without to within.

Indeed, what can be more valuable than guiding people towards permanent eradication of their ignorance and suffering? And that is what Anandmurti Gurumaa is doing-giving the greatest gift to mankind, by sharing her enlightenment.

Introduction

A heart full of compassion alone can experience true love for all beings and guide mankind from the shackles of suffering towards the bliss of liberation. Buddha was the sheer embodiment of compassion and wisdom. His heart overflowed with benevolence for all living beings, full of boundless empathy and mercy for one and all.

Deeply moved by the presence of global human suffering and realising the illusory nature of this world, he renounced everything and walked on the path that lead him to the ultimate liberation. Buddha was deeply aware of others' suffering and hence he relentlessly worked on guiding all mankind on this path of liberation from all misery.

Anandmurti Gurumaa has expounded on the essence present in the messages given by almost every mystic and sage who has graced this earth. In this book, she lucidly explicates the teachings of Buddha making them readily accessible to the common man. It is a compilation of the live discourses given by beloved Gurumaa, addressing the gathering at a meditation camp.

Through the in-depth elucidation of Buddha's precepts, Anandmurti Gurumaa motivates one and all to delve deeper, inculcate and experience this deep compassion which resides in all hearts.
