Features: A true Buddha's heart is not only found in temples, nor only in the wandering monks of famous mountains and rivers. A Buddha's heart can be everywhere, leaving no trace behind. The word "daily" is a clear indication of this. "Daily" can be your tea drinking, eating, working, sleeping, and how you treat others. To treat all things with a tranquil and inclusive Buddha's heart is both a state of being and a practice. The Buddhist saying "the ordinary mind is the Way" and "every step is a Dharma ground" conveys this meaning. Without love, there is no worry; without desire, there is no craving; without anger, there is no enemy; without resentment, one is a Buddha. All troubles stem from attachment. This book is a collection of short stories that uses Buddhist principles to illustrate daily life. It is divided into thirteen chapters such as "The Buddha is Forgiving," "The Buddha is Letting Go," "The Buddha is Aware," "The Buddha is Perceptive," "The Buddha is Liberated," and "The Buddha is Responsible," integrating the wisdom of self-cultivation into everyday stories. It speaks directly to the heart, helping readers to free themselves from troubles and grasp the essence of life. Compared to other Buddhist books, The Buddha's Heart in Daily Life has a lighthearted and lively style, making it more relatable to modern life. The human heart and the Buddha's heart are one; the Buddha is always around us.
