James hoped that ‘its enthusiasm will encourage at least a few people to look deeper into their lives’
….and if you do agree with me… you’ll find you have downloaded a genuine treasure-bargain.

I’m still a fan of a ‘book in the hand’ and reading this while recovering has been a particular pleasure.
I can imagine we’ll enjoy having a go at exploring its deep but relatively easily accessible content in our little group.

Here’s details of the book… and review!

This book contains a selection of edited public talks given by James Low.
They cover a wide range of topics yet share a common theme: how to apply Buddhist teachings in our complex engagement with the modern world.
We are all faced with ever increasing tasks of life maintenance as we struggle to cope with the profound impact of climate change, conflict, economic chaos, environmental and political instabilities. Moreover our own inner life is prey to habitual tendencies, impulses and blind spots so that our sense of the world is often more muddled than we imagine it to be.

The Buddhist view encourages us to see the ungraspable illusory nature of every situation in order that we might avoid being buffeted by samsara’s waves of hopes and fears. With this clarity our own potential can be turned towards the benefit of the many rather than towards individual selfish pursuits.

The Buddha shows the way contains eighteen short chapters which can be read in any order so it is a book that can be dipped into according to your mood and time available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to relate to, with stunningly clear explanations…Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2022Verified Purchase

I would give this book a sky-full of stars if I could.
This is much more than a collection of what has already been said.
James has transformed these talks – with a diamond-cutters precision and a heart which is writing for us as we are – into what is, to my mind, the most widely accessible and easily digestible yet comprehensive book that he has offered us thus far.
Each of his books is radiant with truth, some rich as peonies , others fresh as daisies…each may appeal more to some than others…
But i would recommend this book to all, without reservation, for its simple clarity in explaining the profundity of the truth of us all in a way that we may recognise and realise…
and how we can live from that truth in easeful connectivity with the appearances of our increasingly turbulent world.
