Meditation and the teachings of The Buddha have become increasingly popular
in this modern-scientific-information-age. Personal observations and
experience are the cornerstone of modern science and the Buddha’s
teachings. People from all walks of life have found meditation and The
Buddha’s teachings helpful for overall health, relaxation, and wisdom.
The Buddha’s path is centered on the Eightfold Middle Path and the many
other lists of the Buddha. In this book the author guides us through this
timeless teaching by explaining the meanings and steps. A total of over 600 lists
are presented in this book with 29 of the most important ones explained in
detail.

Some Buddhists take refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha (Triple Gem) to
show respect and appreciation for the teachings. Even the Buddha had refuge
to go to. For him, it is the Dhamma. After enlightenment the Buddha said,
“
Let me then honor and respect and dwell in dependence on this very Dhamma
to which I have fully awakened.” Anguttara Nikaya 4.21
Since the Dhamma is a term for the all-inclusiveness of the teachings, the
Buddha emphasized the importance of Dhamma:
“
Remain with the Dhamma as an island, the Dhamma as your refuge, without
anything else as a refuge.” Samyutta Nikaya 47.13 and also at Digha Nikaya
26
.
