The Eightfold Path is the most widely known formulation of the Buddha's teaching. It is ancient, reaching back to the Buddha's very first discourse, and it is highly venerated as a unique treasury of wisdom and practical guidance. The teaching of the Eightfold Path challenges us to grasp the implications of that vision and asks us to transform ourselves in its light. Like the teaching itself, this work covers every aspect of life.
Very good book with simplified explanations of some truly unique to this religion concepts (like its take on morality, for example), and detailed explanation of every stage of the path, their meanings etc. The book contains some interesting tidbits on the history of Buddhism, some illustrative stories. Delivered brighter and with more life than some other books on the topic. Interesting, enlightening, accessible.
