Buddha
was a revolutionary. His practice was subversive; his message,
seditious. His enlightened point of view went against the norms of his
day—in his words, "against the stream." His teachings changed the world,
and now they can change you too.
Presenting the
basics of Buddhism with personal anecdotes, exercises, and guided
meditations, bestselling author Noah Levine guides the reader along a
spiritual path that has led to freedom from suffering and has saved
lives for 2,500 years. Levine should know. Buddhist meditation saved him
from a life of addiction and crime. He went on to counsel and teach
countless others the Buddhist way to freedom, and here he shares those
life-changing lessons with you. Read and awaken to a new and better
life.
