A blueprint for a life of mindfulness; dedicated to the easing of suffering both for oneself and for othersThe story of Shakyamuni Buddha’s epic journey to enlightenment is perhaps the most important narrative in the Buddhist tradition. Tenzin Chögyel’sThe Life of the Buddha; composed in the mid–eighteenth century and now in a vivid new translation; is a masterly storyteller’s rendition of the twelve acts of the Buddha. Chögyel’s classical tale seamlessly weaves together the vast and the minute; the earthly and the celestial; reflecting the near-omnipresent aid of the gods alongside the Buddha’s moving final reunion with his devoted son; Rahula. The Life of the Buddha has the power to engage people through a deeply human story with cosmic implications.For more than seventy years; Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Absolutely BeautifulBy CustomerAlthough not the same Book of Mormon copy I anticipated; this was a delightful surprise. It has beautiful illustrations and sturdy binding that emphasize the importance of its contents. It will be a great gift for the family for which it was purchased. I know the children will appreciate the images contained therein during family and personal scripture study. Thank you!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Book of Mormon brought me closer to GodBy Hank LundgrenWhat happened to the review I submitted last week? It was a book that although difficult to read at times ; left me with a greater love for mankind and Jesus Christ. Why do people turn away from God in times of prosperity and return to him when they are struggling. I guess that is an age old question. Hope I can keep that from happening in my life.
