Moments of peace and stillness give us a glimpse of how extraordinary our lives can be, but it is easy to lose sight of this in the hectic pace of modern living. In this inspirational book, internationally renowned Buddhist teacher Christina Feldman shows you how to find harmony and balance by applying ancient Buddhist Wisdom to the here and now.

In the hectic modern pace of living, it is often easy to lose sight of the sense of meaning and wonder that we can all have in our lives. In The Buddhist Path to Simplicity, internationally respected Buddhist teacher Christina Feldman shows you how the teachings of ancient Buddhism can help you find harmony and balance and suggests a path of conscious simplicity that will allow you to rediscover how extraordinary our lives can be.

As a mother, layperson and teacher, Christina Feldman knows the stresses and strains of modern life. In this book she shows how to harmonise and achieve balance and how to apply Buddhist wisdom to the here and now, addressing subjects such as compassion, speech, effort, intention, mindfulness and awakening.

The path to peace, she suggests, is not necessarily complex or arduous; if we simply turn our attention to this moment, it will speak to us of wonder, mystery, harmony and peace. She demonstrates that there is no better moment in which to awaken and discover everything our heart longs for than this very moment.
