Modern Buddhism–Buddha's Guide to a Joyful Life

In Modern Buddhism, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso (a prolific author and teacher who was ordained as a Buddhist monk in Tibet at age eight–he's now 82) writes, “Kadampa Buddhism is suitable for everyone because it accords with our daily life experiences. It is an eminently practical spiritual path, easily integrated with daily life. It will improve our happiness, well-being, relationships, activities, etc.” Investigate how this is the case through looking at the outer, inner and secret aspects of Kadampa Buddhism. Understanding these and beginning to integrate them into your daily life will enable you to become the complete modern day urban spiritual warrior. Kelsang Ingchug, a Western Buddhist nun, is the resident teacher at Chittamani Buddhist Center in Austin. She has been studying, practicing and teaching under Geshe-Kelsang Gyatso since 1999. She teaches with clarity and humor, presenting Buddhism in a way that makes it accessible to everyone.
