The Buddha in Your Mirror: Practical Buddhism and the Search for Self

by Woody Hochswender, Greg Martin, Ted Morino

Overview

While the notion that “happiness can found within oneself” has recently become popular, Buddhism has taught for thousands of years that every person is a Buddha, or enlightened being, and has the potential for true and lasting happiness. Through real-life examples, the authors explain how adopting this outlook has positive effects on one’s health, relationships, and career, and gives new insights into world environmental concerns, peace issues, and other major social problems.

Editorial Reviews

The Buddha in Your Mirror presents a powerful and practical way to bring out your true potential and see extraordinarily positive effects in your daily life. The authors reveal Nichiren's teachings designed for everday busy people with everday problems and no time for lengthy spiritual retreats.

Like the Buddha, this book offers practical guidlines to overcome difficulties in everday life and to be helpful to others. Readers will find these pages are like a helpful and supportive friend. I enthusiastically recommend it.
