When the Buddha set in motion the wheel of Dharma, he knew that the teaching he gave was inexhaustible—that every future generation would find its own skillful ways to convey it to the hearts and minds of those ready to hear. The Buddha Is Still Teaching is testimony to the fulfillment of that promise today. The selections it contains, from today’s most highly regarded contemporary Buddhist teachers, bring the Dharma eloquently to life for us in our own time, place, and culture. They demonstrate that two and a half millennia have done nothing to diminish the freshness of the Buddhist teachings, or their universal applicability to our lives.

Contributors include: Ajahn Chah, Joko Beck, Sylvia Boorstein, Tara Brach, Pema Chödrön, the Dalai Lama, Ram Dass, Mark Epstein, Norman Fischer, Natalie Goldberg, Joseph Goldstein, Dilgo Khyentse, Jack Kornfield, Noah Levine, Stephen Levine, Sakyong Mipham, Sharon Salzburg, Suzuki Roshi, Robert Thurman, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Tulku Thondup

The Buddha is Still Teaching is an insightful compilation of Buddhist wisdom from some of the greatest teachers in the world. Editor Jack Kornfield has taken the insight and knowledge of peace icons such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Ram Dass and countless others, to create a book that truly embodies the teachings of Buddha. Readers may choose to read one entry a day to meditate on or to read it all the way through. Either way, readers are sure to enjoy the Dharma that is within Jack Kornfield¹s collection of Buddhist wisdom.
