Born Siddhartha Gautama 2,500 years ago in northern India, he became one of the world's greatest spiritual leaders. He suffered as we do, then by his own efforts found the key to liberation from the bonds of desire, hatred and ignorance. As Westerners living in relative prosperity, we can identify with this man who had it all - love, success, money, talent, privilege - but set these things aside to search for something deeper and more enduring. This book presents an account of the Buddha's life followed by a series of plausible and illuminating but imagined conversations, which probe all aspects of his philosophy for living. The insights he conveys here offer us practical wisdom for a better life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Duncan Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786782472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786782472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Watkins Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Joan Duncan Oliver","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078656684287,"sku":"9781786782472","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_125f6613-288a-405d-a86a-3964b7633605.jpg?v=1685476754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-buddha-joan-duncan-oliver-9781786782472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
