Buddhism without Beliefs
Buddhism without Beliefs | Stephen Batchelor
2 posts | 10 read | 15 to read
A national bestseller and acclaimed guide to Buddhism for beginners and practitioners alike In this simple but important volume, Stephen Batchelor reminds us that the Buddha was not a mystic who claimed privileged, esoteric knowledge of the universe, but a man who challenged us to understand the nature of anguish, let go of its origins, and bring into being a way of life that is available to us all. The concepts and practices of Buddhism, says Batchelor, are not something to believe in but something to do—and as he explains clearly and compellingly, it is a practice that we can engage in, regardless of our background or beliefs, as we live every day on the path to spiritual enlightenment.

Nothing feels better than a book that makes you ponder. — This is an excellent read, if you are interested to understand Buddhism as a philosophy or guiding practice of life. Each chapter is short, but worth reading slowly to take in the simplicity of each concepts, in depth. 💟

A slim volume, but deep in content. Writing was a bit dry at times, but since this a book to read slowly, ponder, and process, it worked out okay and didn‘t detract from the content.
