Immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom of the Buddha's teachings, which transcend the ages to address contemporary challenges like climate change, sustainability, exclusion, and injustice.

Discover the revolutionary concept introduced by Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha some 2,500 years ago — the idea that personal, societal, and global change are intertwined.

“How Buddhism Empowers Personal and Social Change” unveils the power within each of us to break free from the constraints that hinder our true potential.

The book invites you to heed the Buddha's call — 'Ehi Passiko' — to come and see, to experiment with the teachings without blind belief.

Explore the voluntary nature of Buddhist precepts, emphasizing that they are not rigid commandments but flexible guidelines for a fulfilling life.

Dive into the practical tools for change, provided by the Buddha, such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and Bhavana, the art of cultivating the mind.

Through colorful graphics and real-life case studies, the book illuminates the profound insights found in the Buddha's discourses, offering a roadmap for personal and societal change.

The book highlights the interdependence of phenomena and the need for people to live in harmony with the environment. It is based on the discourses — suttas — of the Buddha, as reported in the Tipitaka, or now what is called the Early Buddhist Texts. It provides specific case studies of personal and societal change.

Find out the way in which the Buddha and his disciples, monks and nuns, tackled critical issues, pertaining to society, such as: caste, race, exclusion, poor governance, gender, trafficking of women and girls, unsustainable, wasteful living, abuse, war and conflict and mental health.

The book points out that each of us also has positive characteristics within us — compassion, care and concern — to counter the negative, greed, hatred and delusion.

“How Buddhism Empowers Personal and Social Change” emphasizes the positive qualities within us, urging readers to counter negativity with compassion, care, and concern.

These pages serve as a guiding light, not just for personal enlightenment but as a compass for societal progress. As you delve into the stories within, let them inspire you to tread gently on this shared earth, fostering empathy, understanding, and a profound sense of responsibility for all sentient beings.
