"The first volume of The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Stages of the Path is a fairly detailed explanation of general points related to Buddhist concepts. It includes an introduction for today's Buddhists on the important and fundamental points of the philosophical tenets of âSåakyamuni Buddha, explanations on the reality of base existence presented by Buddhism and modern science, and ways to integrate the essence of Buddhism into daily life"--

The 108 stories in this volume offer thoughtful commentary on everything from love and commitment to fear and pain. Drawing from his own life experience, as well as traditional Buddhist folk tales, author Ajahn Brahm uses over 30 years of spiritual growth as a monk to spin delightful tales that can be enjoyed in silence or read aloud to friends and family.

This second volume of the five-volume commentary focuses on karma, or cause and effect, and is the most comprehensive treatment of this key Buddhist concept yet published.

User-friendly, easy-to-follow sequences are laid out with over 100 accompanying photos in this innovative presentation of mindfulness meditation and yoga.
