Overview of the Book Series

"Way back to the Buddha's Place" is not just a book series; it is a spiritual compass for all Bhikkhus (monks), Bhikkhunis (nuns), Buddhists, and people all over the world. The series, consisting of many volumes, was compiled by the Venerable Elder Thich Thong Lac based on his own experience, practice, and enlightenment. The main content of the books focuses on restoring the original Dharma of the Buddha, which has been diluted and mixed with other beliefs over time.

Buddhism - The Path to Mastering Life

Through this book series, we see that Buddhism is not a religion of rituals, prayers, or seeking external help, but a path of self-reliance. The Buddha taught that each of us has the ability to practice and master our own lives, and to take control of aging, sickness, and death. The books provide clear instructions on how to practice, transform our minds, and thereby master our body and mind so that we are not controlled by the laws of nature. It is a practical, scientific path, not a blind faith.

The book series clarifies the importance of living without causing suffering to oneself, to others, and to all living beings. This is not just a warning, but a core principle of life for achieving peace and tranquility. When we practice morality, we not only protect others but also protect ourselves from the suffering caused by unwholesome deeds.

The Path of Practice and Enlightenment

"Way back to the Buddha's Place" offers readers concrete, practical methods of practice that anyone can apply in their daily lives, including:

• The Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Tu Niem Xu): Observing the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas to clearly see the nature of impermanence, suffering, and non-self.

• The Noble Eightfold Path: The eight-part path that helps us live in accordance with the true Dharma, from Right View (correct understanding) to Right Concentration (a calm mind).

• Eradicating Greed, Anger, and Delusion: The books show how to identify and eliminate the three roots of all suffering, helping the mind become pure and clear.

The Venerable Elder Thich Thong Lac asserts that enlightenment and liberation are a process of practice, not a state achieved through prayer. Anyone who is diligent enough to read, contemplate, and practice according to the teachings in the books can attain wisdom, master themselves, and ultimately be liberated from the cycle of birth and death.
