Buddha's Dream of Liberation: Freedom, Emptiness, and Awakened Nature

This book explores the Buddha’s three great teachings; The First Turning of the Wheel: Insight into suffering and its escape through the four noble truths and the eightfold path. The Second Turning of the Wheel: Teachings on emptiness from the Heart and Diamond Sutras. The Third Turning of the Wheel: Guidance for practitioners and teachings on awakened Buddha nature.

Author James William Coleman, professor of sociology at the California Polytechnic State University, explains the ancient sutras in clear language, illuminating their relevance to today’s world and uniting the Buddha’s wisdom. The book concludes with chapters from Zen teachers Reb Anderson and Tibetan Buddhist Lama Palden on how to use meditation to incorporate the Buddha’s wisdom into daily life.
