    1,001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom

    The latest book in Chronicle's best-selling collection of tiny treasuries combines our winning chunky format and copious colorful artwork with the eternal wisdom of the Buddha. 1,001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom is an inspiring collection of teachings drawn from traditional sources, such as the Zen philosophy of Japan and the tantric practices of Tibet, as well as European thinkers and contemporary Buddhists. Themed sections address such basic human themes as good and bad karma, developing empathy, and how to be happy. Also included are clear explanations of key Buddhist concepts and accounts of historical moments. Full of accessible Eastern teachings, 1,001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom offers insights to inspire, instruct, and set readers on the path to nirvana.
