Buddhism
Buddhism is a dharmic non-theistic religion that is focused on the teachings
of Siddharta Gautama, known as "Gautama Buddha" who was
born and lived in ancient
India/Nepal around the 5th century BCE.
The religion subsequently spread widely in Asia
and later spread around the world gaining adherents in
all the continents. Today, the largest Buddhist populations
are found in the Indian subcontinent,
China,
Tibet,
Japan
and Southeast Asia.
The exact number of Buddhists is unknown, but estimates
range from between 230 and 500 million, making it the fourth-largest
(by population) organized religion in the world (after
Christianity, Islam and
Hinduism).

From the narrative of the story of the Buddha, through discussions of aspects such as textual traditions, the framework of the Four Noble Truths, the interaction between the monastic and lay ways of life, the cosmology of karma and rebirth, and the path of the bodhisattva, this book provides a stimulating introduction to Buddhism as a religion and way of life. |

Product Description:
What would the Buddha say to an alcoholic or addict? What could those in recovery offer to the Buddhist path? Kevin Griffin has immersed himself in the Buddhist and Twelve Step traditions, and in One Breath at a Time he gives some surprising and inspiring answers to these questions.
The author, a Buddhist meditation teacher and longtime Twelve Step practitioner, weaves his personal story of recovery with traditional Buddhist teachings. The book takes us on a journey through the Steps, examining critical Twelve Step ideas like Powerlessness, Higher Power, and Moral Inventory through the lens of Buddhism. One Breath at a Time presents potent ancient techniques for finding calm and clarity and offers a vision of a Higher Power not tied to traditional Western Judeo-Christian concepts. One Breath at a Time, describes the convergence of two vital traditions, one ancient, the other contemporary, and shows how they are working together to create a rich spiritual path for our times.
Certain to resonate with both meditators and those whose mantra is "One day at a time," One Breath at a Time should find a large, welcoming audience.
