Description: With astonishing simplicity, David Brazier has distilled in The Feeling Buddha the essence of the Buddha's message from a talk the Buddha gave after he attained enlightenment. Here the Buddha spelled out a practical approach to the problems of life, defining spirituality as the art of converting base passion into noble engagement.

The Feeling Buddha makes the teachings of India's greatest sage, who finally emerges here as a very human figure full of passion, ultimately accessible. It also serves as a practical guide for living life fully and deeply today, enhanced by Brazier's unique experience as a social worker, Buddhist minister and psychotherapist.

For students of Buddhism, it is a challenge to orthodoxy; for psychotherapists and philosophers, an insight into emotion and existential realities; and for the general reader, an inspiration.
