Buddha's favourite words is a unique collection of all the Buddha's main teachings in one volume offered with insight, clarity and occasional humour. It is presented in an A-to-Z format as if the Buddha were alive today and these were his favourite keywords for unlocking the essence of the entire path to Awakening. The reader is encouraged to approach this book slowly and mindfully. Reading and reflecting on a single entry per day, one could spaciously receive and explore the Buddha's Wisdom in less than a year. Each Favourite Word unfolds sequentially as a clear, illuminating contemplation intended to spark a fire in the heart-mind of the reader. This collection comes from the pen of a Buddhist philosopher who has spent the last thirty years receiving these teachings from some of the most inspiring Asian masters to bring Buddhism to the West. The result is also the fruition of decades of the author's lectures on Buddhism in universities in Europe and Asia as well as presenting the teachings within Buddhist communities themselves. It will be of special interest to students and seekers alike, particularly those completely new to Buddhism or who find themselves at that 'intermediate' stage where clarity and focus can seem all too elusive and rare.
