Originally delivered as a series of lectures to would-be Buddhist judges in May 1956, this condensed volume strips away ritualism and dogma to reveal the living, breathing heart of the Dhamma — a practical philosophy of liberation accessible to any earnest mind, regardless of cultural background.\n\nBuddhadāsa Bhikkhu, one of the most influential Buddhist thinkers of the twentieth century, argues with characteristic directness that the Buddha's teachings are not the exclusive property of any one tradition or nationality, but a universal handbook for the whole of humanity. His prose is spare yet penetrating, guiding the reader through concepts such as the nature of suffering, the self, and the path to genuine freedom with the steady hand of a master teacher. For those who suspect that the answers to modern existence's deepest questions may lie somewhere beyond the ordinary, this volume issues an open and quietly urgent invitation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342770577627,"sku":"2026200016027-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ebdc2c3b-09da-4c09-ac95-4412db3f6a69.png?v=1790048956","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016027-secondhand-handbook-for-mankind-principles-of-buddhism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
