| Abstract | Although a widely observed and respected practice in America, Buddhism is still difficult for many seekers to thoroughly grasp. Now，Adrienne Howley-personally ordained by H. H. the Dalai Lama and one of the highest ranking Buddhist nuns in the world-writes in a warm，simple and engagingly humorous style that illustrates the life，ideas and teachings of the Buddha and the religion and philosophy that he inspired.
This charming guide demystifies Buddhism and shows how we can apply its teachings to our lives in useful and meaningful ways. Howley covers who Buddha was and how he came to formulate his philosophy three main Buddhist traditions, what ordinary Buddhists believe and practice today and meditation：how and why.
There are also answers to questions most commonly asked by non-Buddhists, including：How can Buddhism make me happy? How can I always practice generosity? and How can I move away from greed and hatred?
The Naked Buddha is an accessible，down-to-earth introduction to this ancient Asian religion and a valuable addition to the literature on Buddhism. |
