From a direct disciple of the great Thich Nhat Hanh comes a radical new way to approach suffering. Instead of burying or avoiding pain, author Cuong Lu uses the profound wisdom of the Dhammapada–the most widely known collection of sayings from the Buddha–to reveal its hidden purpose. He offers a clear path to embracing life’s difficulties, showing us how to transmute our suffering into deep insight, compassionate action, and lasting joy.
