The Wisdom of the Buddha     

A book edited by Anne Bancroft

A book beyond concepts and mind, beyond our world and our self. "The wisdom of the Buddha" don't give us a way in life. The Waywill be found alone. Buddha didn't tell us what is this Pathbecause is something that cann't be concieve intelectualy. For us he is a teacher that just tell us that we are in a dream, a dream made by itself, from our thoughts, beliefs, fears, feelings, obsessions and so on and this dream we call life and world and beyond this dream "exists" the empty Truth. Basicaly, Nirvana means living in this empty and ultimate Truth. This Truth is the freedom from self and our world slavery but no one can speak properly about it, so and Buddha didn't. This Truth cann't be describe in words because is no concept reality(my term) and in a way is not a reality at all, it's something different that can be reveal only in a empty and pure mind and awareness, perfect disconnected from illusion of "I" or "I am" or even "I am not". These ideas are just meaningless in Buddha's teachings. Anyway, finding the Pathor Enlightenmentis a work by yourself and with yourself and starting point will be observing your inner world and how it became. This is what is presented in the book as no ignorance state (my term) and is first step in meditation like practice.

In the end, you should not take what I said here like an immutable truth because no immutable truth exist without your own awakening and here nobody can help somebody because showing the Path is not similar with walking on the Path.
