Features: "The Wisdom of Life in Buddhism: Teachings, Words and Deeds + Practice and Self-Cultivation (Set of Two Volumes)" tells stories that are often established based on events, targeting the social phenomena and behaviors of the time. It is imbued with some fundamental Buddhist teachings, such as peace, sacrifice, universal love, equality, controlling desires, prohibiting cruelty, and the concepts of good and evil karma. Some of these ideas may no longer be practical for us in the modern era, but the teachings about understanding life, encouraging good deeds, detaching from fame and fortune, and purifying (distilling troubles) still hold great significance. The wise words and actions of monks and Buddha are like a balm for the souls of people living in the bustling, noisy mortal world, offering comfort and guidance. This book selects and compiles some content from numerous Buddhist classics, with comments, and is divided into four parts: Theories, Words and Deeds, Practice, and Self-Cultivation. These remarks, stories, and insights, though sometimes slightly deviating from the original meaning, can still provoke deep reflection and inspire wisdom, as interpretations may vary.
