The Buddha taught a down-to-earth wisdom. Even though he lived 2500 years ago, his teachings remain deeply relevant. Through reflecting on the Buddha's thoughts and advice, we will open our minds to fresh insights. We may begin to shake off our conditioning and make revolutionary changes in our personal, social, political and spiritual lives.
In The Buddha's Book of Daily Meditations, world-renowned meditation master Christopher Titmuss has chosen inspiring quotations-many of which are drawn from the very latest translations of the Buddha suttras-for each day of the year. These words of the Buddha show such depth of experience and understanding that, if we meditate on them on a regular basis, we cannot fail to make significant steps towards enlightenment.
