Infos

This book isn't actually a book as such; instead, it's a compilation of lectures given to a group of prison inmates with an interest in Buddhism. The lectures describe a journey of self- (and other!) discovery.The Buddha also has something to say to those of us who aren't in prison. You'll find Buddha images wherever peace, relaxation and wellbeing are evoked, be it in display windows, as garden ornaments or as decorative tealights. Written with a light touch and with plenty of humour, these talks offer a general overview of the Buddha's teachings. Whether you're "inside" or "outside", if you'd like to know how to approach yourself and the world in a more relaxed way, why not come with me on this journey to the emergency exit from the prison of your own mind?Their informal style means that these lectures are suitable for anyone who enjoys a chuckle or two while reading.

Autor

Evelyn Haferkorn-Müller has been travelling a lot in her life and by this got interested in Buddhism - more than 30 years ago. As a result she completed a 7-year-studying-course of Buddhism and attended - and still attends - teachings of Buddhist masters. Several times she had been asked to give lectures on Buddhist topics, also by a group of prisoners. The book ‘We are all prisoners – with Buddha to the emergency exit’ was based on a series of lectures at the prison. Moreover, since 2008, she is voluntarily assisting prisoners and preventive detainees. Coming from a Christian background, she is familiar with the concept of charity. In general, she is very open-minded and interested towards other cultures and religions – and to science, especially in the field of astronomy. With experience in the waste disposal industry she decided to go with print on demand. This means that each book is only printed when it is ordered and does not harm the environment. This allows you to purchase a printed book without feeling guilty about the environment if you do not like reading e-books.
