Identifying the core values and principles of the teachings of Gotama, the Buddha, Living life on life's terms systematically rethinks them in a way that addresses the issues of this secular age. 'What matters today?', the authors ask.
At the heart of this book is a reimagining of the Four Noble Truths. They are reframed as practical tasks to be performed - guidelines for living ethically and responding wisely to the realities of life.
This approach rests on a philosophical scepticism that values questions over answers. Following the Buddha's middle way between the extremes of 'it is' and 'it is not', secular dharma avoids dogmatic claims about ultimate truth or reality.
The measure of a teaching is simple. Does it help us live with greater awareness, care, and integrity? Does it free us from reactivity - the habits of clinging, resistance and denial that keep us trapped, harming ourselves and others?
The path of practice lies in cultivating attitudes, skills and virtues that ease these burdens, and open us to flourishing. In this book, three leading voices bring secular dharma to life. Stephen Batchelor offers a tapestry of philosophical insight, Martine Batchelor shares practical guidance for weaving practice into daily life, while Bernat Font adds creativity and warmth through stories and metaphors. Together, their teaching creates a multidimensional experience that speaks to both heart and mind.
Drawn from a year long course at Bodhi College, Living life on life's terms is an inspiring guide for anyone seeking a contemporary path to freedom.
