\n An engaging, accessible introduction to Buddhism for those who are looking to explore a new spiritual tradition or understand the roots of their mindfulness practice.<\/p>\n

Are you curious about Buddhism but find yourself met with scholarly texts or high-minded moralizing every time you try to pick up a book about it? Well, if so, relax. This is no ordinary introduction to Buddhism; there are none of the saccharine platitudes and dense pontification that you may have come to expect. Buddhish is a readable introduction for complete newcomers that provides an objective, streamlined overview of the tradition\u2014from unpacking the Four Noble Truths to understanding what \u201cnirvana\u201d actually means. For those who have already dipped their toes into the tradition through the practice of mindfulness or meditation, this guide will help you create a more well-rounded and informed experience by delving into the history of the Buddhist traditions that shape a mindful practice.<\/p>\n

Buddhist scholar Dr. Pierce Salguero analyzes the ideas and philosophy of the complex tradition through the eyes of both a critic and an admirer. He shares anecdotes from his time at a Thai monastery, stories from the years he spent living throughout Asia, and other personal experiences that have shaped his study of Buddhism. Through this guide, readers will have the opportunity to develop an approach to practice that is not quite Buddhist but Buddhish.<\/p>\n

Through engaging and lighthearted stories, Dr. Salguero breaks down 20 central principles of the tradition, including:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Awakening
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Suffering
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Doubt
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Karma
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Buddha Nature
