THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BUDDHISM Buddhism, with its stress on non-violence, the middle path and its promise of awakening, finds many followers. However, being a Buddhist isn't about simply wearing robes or carrying pray beads; Buddhism is something that is ingrained within and has to become a part of everyday life. The Best Way to Catch a Snake is meant for all those who want to start their journey towards awakening but don't know where to begin. It goes beyond the exotic rituals and practices that Buddhism is today seen as, and elucidates the Four Seals, the Four Noble Truths and the Four Thoughts of Buddhism in simple, jargon-free language. Written by a Buddhist monk, it combines examples from his own experience with simple exercises. A valuable source of Buddhist knowledge, this book is a must-read for anyone drawn to the teachings of Guatama Buddha.
