Description

Explore core Buddhist teachings, as well as practice through reflections and meditations, in this concise and inviting introduction.

Ideal for anyone who is Buddhism-curious, The Buddha in You offers an accessible introduction to the key teachings of Buddhism. But Buddhism is so much more than its teachings—it’s also a lived experience. Through simple reflections, practices, or meditations in every short chapter, The Buddha in You invites you to begin to try the teachings in your own life, whether you want to be Buddhist or not. These teachings can help cultivate more calm, joy, and gratitude even amid life’s challenges.

Authors Lama Lhanang Rinpoche, born and raised in Tibet and now teaching in the United States and internationally, and meditation teacher Mordy Levine have introduced countless people to Buddhism and meditation. This book answers the key questions people ask them, including:

• What really is karma?
• How do I meditate?
• Is reincarnation real?
• Do I have to believe everything the Buddha taught?
• What are the differences among the various schools of Buddhism?
• Do Buddhists have to be vegetarian?
• And many more

The Buddha in You invites you to explore both Buddhist teachings and your own inner landscape. As Lama Lhanang writes, “Enjoy this moment with wisdom, compassion, and kindness… We all have the chance to be a Buddha one day.”
