by RobertAllen (Author)
While Buddhism is rich in religious devotion, philosophy, psychological insight and mystical experience, one of its most powerful assets is its sense of humour. The history of Buddhism abounds with amusing anecdotes and electric illustrations, all of which have been used over many centuries to encapsulate a spiritual message of great power. With a huge cast of fascinating characters, this delightful book explores the wry and amusing side of Buddhism. It includes sayings from the Buddha himself, witticisms from Zen masters and lessons from modern Buddhist teachers.
