What core Buddhist teachings are reflected in all other wisdom traditions?
As stated in the Kālāma Sutta, known as the Buddha's "charter of free inquiry," Donald Rothberg encourages us not to believe anything simply because we are told to, but rather apply our own experience and discernment.
He encourages us to embrace the very practical core teachings of Buddhism and consider how those resonate with other religious traditions.
He explores the foundations of our teachings in familiar Buddhist language, framing them in terms of:

  1. Ethics
  2. The heart practices (compassion, loving-kindness, joy, etc.)
  3. Wisdom

He then looks at the essence of each and how they can be expressed very simply in ordinary, practical language that goes beyond Buddhism.
