A systematic approach to making intelligent use of our lives: forget the self, l
ive more fully for others, and find happiness deep within.
The idea that our e
xperiences in life are shaped by our own minds is fundamental to Buddhist philos
ophy. "An Intelligent Life" uses the principles of Buddhist philosophy to explor
e how best to make use of our lives in order to benefit ourselves and others. Bu
ilding on the foundation of core Buddhist concepts like the ego, interdependence
, and karma, Professor Yokoyama presents a uniquely practical application of Bud
dhist philosophy.
