Along the way, however, we tend to encounter the same perplexing questions again and again. Some are cosmic enigmas that have always tested the human mind: What is my purpose in life? What happens after I die? Others are puzzles presented by daily life in modern society: What, if anything, justifies assisted suicide? What is my personal responsibility to the homeless? According to Lama Surya Das, one of the foremost Western Buddhist scholars and teachers, the more we seek to resolve these mysteries, the more fully we live.<br><br>Along with his own personal beliefs, the author presents a variety of thoughtful points of view representing different schools of Buddhism, other religions, spirituality in general, and pragmatism. <i>The Big Questions</i> challenges readers in the most stimulating and thoughtful way to formulate individual, authentic responses to life&#8217;s big questions.</div></div> 2579753 2 10 2007 The Big Questions: A Buddhist Response to Life's Most Challenging Mysteries total:19|5:5|4:6|3:7|2:1|1:0| 19 72 47 4 5 2 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 27 22:13:50 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 08 17:15:15 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 19:03:34 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 10:30:38 -0700 2008
