Description and Table of Contents

Description

Of all the great religions, Buddhism has focused most intensively on that aspect of religion we call spirituality. "In Buddhism, Spirituality is not merely interior reality or a mere escape from ordinary existence. Rather, it aims at cleansing the mind of impurities and disturbances . . . and cultivating such qualities as concentration, awareness, intelligence, will, energy, confidence, joy, (and) tranquility".--from the Introduction. Illustrations.
