Complex Questions Simple Answers – Family, Relationships, and Other Questions of Life

Series:Gems of Wisdom 3
This book is a translated compilation of answers provided at public events by the Venerable Master in his native Mandarin Language. You will notice that the Venerable Master’s answers in this book are simple. Based on his in-depth study of Buddhism, he could have given us highly complicated and philosophical answers to the questions of life; he had all the intellectual knowledge to do this. Instead, he spared us the trouble and told us in a few sentences what we should do to live meaningful lives starting today and to prepare ourselves for the hereafter.
