Synopsis "Buddhism for Beginners "

This user’s guide to Buddhist basics takes the most commonly asked questions—beginning with “What is the essence of the Buddha’s teachings?”—and provides simple answers in plain English. Thubten Chodron’s responses to the questions that always seem to arise among people approaching Buddhism make this an exceptionally complete and accessible introduction—as well as a manual for living a more peaceful, mindful, and satisfying Life. Buddhism for Beginners is an ideal first book on the subject for anyone, but it’s also a wonderful resource for seasoned students, since the question-and-answer format makes it easy to find just the topic you’re looking for, such as:    • What is the goal of the Buddhist path?    • What is karma?    • If all phenomena are empty, does that mean nothing exists?    • How can we deal with fear?    • How do I establish a regular meditation practice?    • What are the qualities I should look for in a teacher?    • What is Buddha-nature?    • Why can't we remember our past lives?

Thubten Chodron es una monja budista, autora y maestra estadounidense, reconocida internacionalmente por su labor en la difusión del budismo tibetano en Occidente. Nació en Estados Unidos y se ordenó como monja budista en 1977, convirtiéndose en una de las primeras mujeres occidentales en recibir la ordenación completa dentro de la tradición tibetana. Es discípula del XIV Dalái Lama, con quien ha estudiado y colaborado durante décadas.

Pertenece a la tradición Gelug del budismo tibetano y es conocida por su estilo de enseñanza claro, accesible y profundamente práctico. Thubten Chodron ha impartido enseñanzas en numerosos países y ha participado activamente en diálogos interreligiosos y encuentros sobre ética, compasión y paz.

Es autora y coautora de numerosos libros sobre budismo, meditación y psicología budista. Destaca especialmente la serie The Library of Wisdom and Compassion, escrita junto con el Dalái Lama, que presenta de manera sistemática el camino budista. En 2003 fundó la Abadía Sravasti, en el estado de Washington, uno de los primeros monasterios budistas tibetanos para monjes y monjas occidentales en Estados Unidos. Su trabajo ha sido clave para el desarrollo del budismo contemporáneo en Occidente.
