Buddha's Favourite Words: Daily Contemplations To Unlock The Essence

Nua, Bruno: - BRUNO NUA is a Buddhist Philosopher from Ireland where he had a humble upbringing in one of Dublin's roughest suburbs. Graduating from Trinity College with a Masters degree he became a teacher, first in the country's most privileged private school and then in the country's most disadvantaged one. A lifelong love of meditation and spirituality eventually brought him to Buddhism. Having a deep affinity for the Tibetan and Zen traditions, Bruno connected almost straight away with three of the finest Buddhist masters of the age. He first became a student of Sogyal Rinpoche, which also led him to Thich Nhat Hanh and Ringu Tulku Rinpoche. Some years later Bruno became a university lecturer in Buddhist Philosophy, which took him from Dublin to Bangkok [and back again]. He brought Irish Buddhists together when he formed Buddhist Network Ireland, and represented them on the first Irish Inter-Religious Council alongside the national leaders of the Roman Catholic, Protestant, Muslim and other faiths. Nowadays, Bruno lives in Catalunya and Thailand where he says he tries to remain in the here and now, do as little as possible, not think too much, and write a little bit from time to time.
