This is the author's fourth book exploring the complementary relationship between the Buddha's teachings and modern psychology. It reflects his 40 years of study and development of a unique yet cogent perspective that incorporates the traditional Buddhist teachings and his meditation insights, with the research and study of modern scholars and psychologists. This book goes beyond what is usually taught in traditional Buddhist texts as well as comparative psychology essays. The integration of the doctrines is exceptionally helpful for creating psychological wellbeing and for comprehending important truths of life. The present book explores deeply the valuable interface of psychology and the Buddha's teaching in developing wellbeing and wisdom. The Buddha's teachings are clearly shown as a foundation for a Relapse Prevention model to eliminate suffering and create happiness in our lives and the world.

My aim in writing this book is to explore, from a modern psychological and biological perspective, what the Buddha was telling us. The ancient text and the modern point of view both complement and clarify each other.
In my over 30 years of study, reflection and meditation experience in Buddhism, I have noticed that the teachings of the Buddha are often shrouded in a mystical or theistic point of view which, I believe, obscures the original intention of the Buddha. This book will show that the Buddha’s teachings are best understood as a psychology in which the mind is the prime mover for the transformation and wisdom needed for the culmination of insight development – Awakening or Enlightenment.

This book is about Right View: it is clear that the Buddha placed Right View at the forefront of the Eightfold Path because to begin working towards a goal, we must know the right perspective or plan for correct action. We must recognize the right signposts that indicate we are continuing on the Path that leads to Nibbāna.
This book is a description or view of the Buddha’s teachings for all who are beginning or have begun traveling the path and want some right views about the Buddha’s teachings.I took great care to find resources and teachings of highly regarded contemporary scholars and teachers in Buddhism, and I believe they can be helpful to other practitioners who have similar concerns and questions. |
