2/2 Audiobook "Buddha Shows the Way" in Portuguese
Audiobook 'Buddha Shows the Way - A collection of public talks and teachings', by James Low and transtaled and spoken to Portuguese by Madalena PedrozaThis book contains a selection of edited public talks given by James Low. They cover a wide range of topics yet share a common theme: how to apply Buddhist teachings in our complex engagement with the modern world. We are all faced with ever increasing tasks of life maintenance as we struggle to cope with the profound impact of climate change, conflict, economic chaos, environmental and political instabilities. Moreover our own inner life is prey to habitual tendencies, impulses and blind spots so that our sense of the world is often more muddled than we imagine it to be.The Buddhist view encourages us to see the ungraspable illusory nature of every situation in order that we might avoid being buffeted by samsara's waves of hopes and fears. With this clarity our own potential can be turned towards the benefit of the many rather than towards individual selfish pursuits.The Buddha shows the way contains eighteen short chapters which can be read in any order so it is a book that can be dipped into according to your mood and time available.E-Book and paperback: https://www.amazon.com.br/Buddha-show...1/2 Audiobook "Buddha Shows the Way" in Portuguese:    • 1/2 Audiobook "Buddha Shows the Way" in Po...  2/2 Audiobook "Buddha Shows the Way" in Portuguese:    • 2/2 Audiobook "Buddha Shows the Way" in Po...  (you are here)📱 Instagram of excerpts:   / sbsangha_jameslow  🎧 Poscasts of some teachinhgs: https://simplybeing.co.uk/news/podcasts/📆 Learn more about future events: https://simplybeing.co.uk/eventsVideo at https://youtu.be/FGCe5sxX-j8?si=x0YB8XwhxiAt_D97
