520			_aThe Essence of Buddha: The Path to Enlightenment is about living life with meaning and purpose. The Eightfold Path, the Six Paramitas, and the Laws of Causality are clearly explained in today’s language, along with the need for self–reflection, the nature of karma and reincarnation, and other tenets of the Buddhist understanding of life. Enlightenment, it is believed, is potentially achievable for every sentient being; its path leads towards an expansion of consciousness, moving from material concerns to a cosmic awareness of the unseen spiritual reality. This and the practice of a love that gives is the way to happiness and a better world. Ryuho Okawa designs spiritual workshops for people from all walks of life; among his previous books are The Laws of the Sun and Love, Nurture and Forgive.
