Why Is the Buddha Smiling? The Buddha is smiling because he has discovered there is a path that leads to freedom from suffering. This path begins with mindfulness and (as brought to light in this practical guide) it?s open to everyone. Mindfulness involves a re-examination of every aspect of life, from our relationships with ourselves and others to our behavior and thought patterns in everyday situations. This re-examination helps recast life in a clear way that frees us from habitual reactions. Mindfulness helps to steady, stabilize, and strengthen the power of our attention and increases our center of gravity so that we are less easily distracted.
Both practical and inspirational, Why Is the Buddha Smiling? includes the tools necessary for readers to begin living their lives with awareness of the present and to increase their connection with those around them.
