This landmark collection is the definitive introduction to the Buddha's teachings - in his own words. The American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations have won widespread acclaim, here presents selected discourses of the Buddha from the Pali Canon, the earliest record of what the Buddha taught. Divided into 10 thematic chapters, In the Buddha's Words reveals the full scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and marriage to renunciation and the path of insight.

In this book, twelve leading scholars of South Asian texts and traditions articulate the Buddha-life blueprint-the underlying and foundational pattern that holds the life story of a buddha together. They retell the episodes of Buddha Gautama's extended life story, while keeping in mind the cosmic, paradigmatic arc of his narrative. The contributors have dedicated their careers to exploring hagiographical materials, each applying their own methodological and theoretical interests to shed new light on the enduring story of Buddhism.

Warum vergehen manche Stunden wie im Flug und ein anderes mal ziehen sich wenige Minuten ins Unendliche? Nach einem Beinahe-Unfall beim Apfelpflücken, lässt den kleinen Buddha die Frage warum sich Zeit immer wieder anders anfühlt nicht mehr los.

Im sechsten Band der erfolgreichen Reihe macht sich der kleine Buddha viele Gedanken um das Thema Frieden. Anders als sonst bricht er diesmal nicht zu einer großen Reise auf, sondern erkundet seine Nachbarschaft, macht kleinere Ausflüge und bekommt viel Besuch unter seinem großen alten Bodhi-Baum.

Ungekürzte Neuaufnahme zum 10 jährigen Jubiläum der Bücher vom Kleinen Buddha. Es war einmal ein kleiner Buddha. Täglich sitzt er unter seinem Bodhi-Baum und meditiert. Das tut er gern, und er liebt seinen Platz unter dem alten Baum. Doch etwas fehlte in seinem Leben, das ihm weder die Wolken am Himmel, noch die Bäume am Boden geben konnten. Also begibt er sich auf eine Reise und trifft dort auf Menschen, die jeder für sich eine Antwort darauf gefunden haben, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Und der Buddha weiß: Es sind immer die kleinen Dinge, die das Geheimnis des Glücks ausmachen.

The hero of Hanif Kureishi's debut novel is a dreamy teenager, desperate to escape suburban South London and experience the forbidden fruits which the 1970s seem to offer. When the unlikely opportunity of a life in the theatre announces itself, Karim starts to win the sort of attention he has been craving, albeit with some rude and raucous results.

From the moment of his birth, Siddhartha Gautama never doubted his specialness. He arrived with magnificently webbed digits and could lick his own earlobes. His karma had been that good. Thus, the question was never whether he would become a king, but rather, what type of king he would become. Siddhartha's journey took a sudden spiritual turn when he came to the first of his many realizations: things die, and before they die, they suffer, a lot, for real.

In Buddha and the Dancing Girl, Catherine Ann Jones generously shares experiences most of us will never have: acting on the stage and screen, living for years in a South Indian hut, writing award-winning plays and screenplays, and lecturing internationally.

Casa, lavoro, una moglie e una figlia, una vita perfetta: Bōta ha perso tutto per un solo, gravissimo errore. Dopo il carcere, si ritrova per strada, uno dei tanti invisibili relegati ai margini di una Tōkyō immensa e indifferente. Quelle persone accolgono Bōta nella loro piccola comunità sulle rive del fiume, gli insegnano ad arrangiarsi raccogliendo e rivendendo lattine vuote, a riconciliarsi con il passato, a non arrendersi. In quel microcosmo di esistenze dimenticate, Bōta trova nuove ragioni per restare.

The author of Breakfast with Buddha brings his characteristic whimsy to a new novel about New York book editor Otto Ringling and Mongolian monk Volya Rinpoche, who embark on a road trip from Rinpoche's meditation center in North Dakota to the glitter and glitz of the Las Vegas strip.

Dessert with Buddha takes the eccentric, sort-of-Buddhist monk, Volya Rinpoche, and his skeptical, middle-of-the-road brother-in-law, Otto Ringling, on another enlightening road trip filled with meals, humor, social commentary, and good times. On this journey, the couple that traveled from New York to North Dakota in Breakfast with Buddha, Seattle to North Dakota in Lunch with Buddha, and North Dakota to Las Vegas in Dinner with Buddha heads down the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to points south.
