The Wisdom of the Noble Eight-fold Path
To me the Buddha was the ultimate teacher. He knew exactly what the student sitting in front of him needed. For those of us who wouldn't get to hear him in person, he left us clear instructions for meditating and dealing with the suffering that plagues all sentient beings. No matter how many times I read or listen, discuss or teach about his work, each time I am as amazed as the last. The reason I am so jazzed even after decades of practice is simple - it works, it is beautiful, and my life has changed so much just by practicing with his discovery.
