Abstract:
"The teachings of Buddhism are many and varied, and it has a well-developed philosophical and mystical dimension; but at its core is a simple set of propositions and practices designed to meet the practical day-to-day concerns of ordinary people: how to live a compassionate, creative, wise, and, above all, happy life."--Jacket.
