Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who lived in ancient India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is the founder of Buddhism, one of the major religions of the world. Buddha was born into a royal family, but he renounced his luxurious lifestyle at the age of 29 to seek the truth about life and the nature of suffering. He spent six years as a wandering ascetic before attaining enlightenment at the age of 35.

Even though he was one of the most influential men who ever walked the Earth, very little is known about the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the man we call the Buddha. His teachings were followed in India for 1,500 years and became the guiding principles of life for both rich and poor, high born and lower castes. Today the religion he founded is followed all over the world. Here is the fascinating story of his life from his youth as a privileged prince to his renunciation and his attainment of nirvana.

Donna Quesada had been teaching for about a dozen years when the first signs of burnout hit her. Rather than give into her frustration, she reached for Buddha’s teachings - the Zen wisdom that formed the basis of her own longtime spiritual practice. She survived the semester and gradually rediscovered the joy of teaching that had been progressively declining. In this wonderful book, she shares the lessons she learned - lessons that reveal time and again: No matter the situation, resolution begins in our own hearts and minds.

We are all looking for greater meaning and wisdom in our lives. The problem is that we search for these things outside ourselves. The most profound teachings of the Buddha say that the wisdom we search for does not come from outside. It is already within us; it is our very nature. The spiritual path is simply a way of helping us uncover and manifest the wisdom we already have. Discovering our innate wisdom means learning to trust and rely not only on our intellect, but also on our intuition.

If you’ve been confused by all the talk of “awakening” or “enlightenment,” you’re not alone. These words are everywhere—used in everything from spiritual marketing to casual conversation. But the Buddha meant something very specific. And it wasn’t mystical, magical, or out of reach. In this short and to-the-point audiobook, I try to return to the heart of what the Buddha actually taught. I wrote it not as a scholar, but as a fellow practitioner—someone who has wrestled with suffering, sat in stillness, and found deep clarity in the Buddha’s path.
