What If Everything You're Looking For Is Already Here?

Have you ever noticed how dissatisfaction can creep in even during your happiest moments? You get the promotion you wanted, but within weeks you're eyeing the next level. You finally buy your dream home, yet soon you're browsing renovation ideas. This restless quality of human experience isn't a personal failing-it's the starting point of Buddhism. Steve Hagen's "Buddhism Plain and Simple" cuts through centuries of ritual and mysticism to reveal something startlingly direct: the solution to our suffering isn't somewhere else, sometime later, or dependent on believing anything supernatural. It's about learning to see clearly what's actually happening right now. Like guests starving at an abundant feast because they don't recognize the food before them, we overlook the completeness of this present moment while chasing an imaginary future satisfaction. What makes this book revolutionary isn't exotic wisdom but its radical simplicity-an invitation to wake up to reality as it actually is, not as we think it should be.
