People looking for an introduction to Buddhism usually find two types of books: those that present the ideas and history of Buddhism and those in which a teacher explains certain aspects of the teachings or the formal practice of meditation. Both are useful, but not suitable for everyone. Irmentraud Schlaffer chooses an exciting third path. In her book, she shows that we can experience the knowledge and insights of Buddhism directly in everyday life - without a meditation cushion and without an excess of abstract theory. Irmentraud Schlaffer makes it clear that the Buddha developed his teachings from observing everyday life. And she shows us a way to rediscover these teachings in our everyday activities: for example, when looking into an empty fridge, waiting for a late train or getting through a bad cold. \"Buddhism for Everyday Life\" frees the teachings of the Buddha from any cultural and ritual exoticism. Through concrete suggestions and questions, the book provides us with a practical and completely undogmatic approach to the timeless wisdom of Buddhism.<\/p>\n
For three decades Irmentraud Schlaffer has been intensively engaged in the study and practice of the Buddha's teachings. She holds a university degree in Tibetology, Indology and Comparative Religion and works, among other things, as a translator of Buddhist literature.<\/p>\n
