Product Description

Review
"'This admirably clear and perceptive book has much to offer, particulrly for those with some experience of the Buddhist practice' - Library Journal; 'David Brazier writes with clarity and authority about the zen way' - Mark Epstein MD author of Thoughts Without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective"

Product Description
This account explains how the Buddha's path of wisdom and loving kindness grew out of the challenges he encountered in life. It explores enlightenment, nirvana, and the Four Noble Truths, presenting a picture of the Buddha as a very human figure whose success lay not in his perfection, but in his method of positively utilizing the energy generated by personal suffering.

5.0 out of 5 stars A challenging and passionate look at Buddhist philosophy, 16 April 2001
By A Customer
This was a refreshing read,a book on Buddhism that didn't leave me feeling an unenlightened being! I may be of course, but I was encouraged by David Brazier addressing the reality of suffering in our everyday existence and the unlikelyhood of our being able to eliminate this. Rather by considering the four noble truths and the eight fold path he challenges us to convert this energy into passion and positive action. This easy yet challenging read focuses on our lives as they are lived and not on the more esoteric aspects of the Buddhist outlook. I borrowed the book but am now ordering my own copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to live a truely noble life., 1 Mar 2007
Since first encountering The Feeling Buddha, I have constantly returned to it's exposition and commentary of the Four Noble Truths. Brazier's interpretation is a move towards a truer account of the Buddha's first sermon which is supported both by linguistic and logical evidence - and supported by my experience of applying this teaching, in the way Brazier presents to my own life, and the liberation I felt.

His description of how to live a noble life is at the same time completely human and profoundly spiritual - it is by accepting the nature of Dukkha, that we can begin to move away from ignorance and hurtful actions and towards a more compassionate way of life.

Presenting the teachings in this way opens a path which is accessible to all people, and not just the spiritual elite, or enlightened.

The Feeling Buddha is the perfect introduction to Buddhism, presenting teachings that can be immediately engaged with and applied to life. To anyone that is faced with struggle in life, this provides gateway to a noble life.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLE, BUT EXTREMELY PROFOUND, 12 Mar 2006
I am grateful to David Brazier for restating things which I knew but had forgotten, and for expressing them in such a moving and utterly human way. As a teacher of children with particularly difficult lives, I have derived personal encouragement from the author's words and have also been able to offer their wisdom and comfort to my students. We particularly like the phrase 'the undefeated life', which brings a sense of achievement to the process of dealing with existence.
