This  book  is  a  project  of  the  International  Council  of  Vesak,  based  at Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University (MCU), Thailand, Vesak being the Buddhist festival celebrating  the birth, enlightenment and final nirvana of the Buddha. The project’s aim is to distribute this book for free around the world, especially in hotels, so as to make widely available the rich resources found in the texts of the main Buddhist traditions relating to fundamental  issues  facing  human  beings. Through  this,  its  objectives  are  to  increase  awareness  among Buddhists of their own rich heritage of religious and ethical thinking as well as to increase understanding among non-Buddhists of the fundamental values and principles of Buddhism. It seeks to strike a balance between what is common to the Buddhist traditions and the diversity of perspectives among them.
