Description

"This is the clearest and most precise exposition of Buddhism I have ever read. If you're looking for enlightenment rather than just scholarly knowledge, you'd better read this." – Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

When the Buddha was asked to sum up his teachings in a single word, he said, "Awareness" – experiencing the whole of reality, seeing what is, and being entirely in the present. In this way, the mind is made free.
