About this Book...
The name "Buddha" comes from a verb that means "to awake." When asked what sort of creature he was - a man, a god, an angel - he replied, "I am awake."
The life of a Buddhist, then, is a life dedicated to awakening. Whether through intellectual understanding, meditation practice, or both, the Buddhist is continually waking to the true nature of things - and of himself or herself. In this book, Venerable Master Hsing Yun offers thirty-six brief essays as guides to living the Awakening Life. Most of the essays are divided into four or five main points; as brief as they are, they offer rich opportunities for deep contemplation. Pondering these little gems can lead to greater awakening in every person's life.
