Dale Wright offers a wide-ranging exploration of issues that have a bearing on the contemporary meaning of enlightenment. He considers the historical meanings of enlightenment within various Buddhist traditions, but does so in order to expand on the larger question that our lives press upon us--what kinds of lives should we aspire to live here, now, and into the future?

Based on an innovative understanding of an important Buddhist scripture, this book provides a jargon-free introduction to a Buddhist philosophy of life suited for twenty-first-century global citizens, showing how the practice of insight meditation can deepen our perspective on life.
