The revolutionary art of joy

Author: Sharon Salzberg

Buddhism is a sui generis religion, which has always adapted itself with extraordinary plasticity to the most varied socio-cultural and historical situations and even to other religions, changing, even radically transforming, in order to keep intact what matters: its fundamental message directed towards the 'human being. In this book the Buddhist perspective adheres to our culture, it penetrates it to the point that it appears entirely devoid of that mythical dimension, exoticism, which for a certain period had made it its fortune.
