About the Book

We are living in a turbulent world. An increasingly civilized and developed society helps people's material life to be increasingly improved, thanks to the support of modern equipment and machines with the era of industry 4.0, the current pinnacle is AI technology. With the development of the internet, our daily necessities have been met quickly and more conveniently than traditional methods of exchange, our entertainment needs are also met in a more diverse and richer way through social media platforms, or online games... But because of that, there are many consequences have been arisen. We seem to be getting busier, everyone hustling, whirling around with their own work and projects to keep up with current social trends. Because of that, we spend less and less time with our loved ones and family. There are more and more consequences for society, especially among young people.
It is undeniable that when the material comfort life is raised, it seems that our spiritual life is less valued. And no matter how modern and developed the human world is, we still cannot change and solve the nature of life. The basic dangers of life are still latent, lurking somewhere and waiting for the right time to come, making us unable to catch up. The Covid-19 pandemic, the earthquake in Turkey, the war between Russia and Ukraine ... are typical examples. It seems that we can never escape from the strict laws of life. Perhaps many of us have thought that the fact that we are living in an increasingly developed world will reduce the risks and dangers from nature and man-made through the intervention of modern machinery systems, and we will be safer. But the truth is quite the opposite, and it seems that we are feeling more insecure, when even today we still witness terrible disasters such as earthquakes, epidemics, wars... and what will happen in the future when superpowers in the world are in an arms race, especially the recent enrichment of Uranium.
Happiness is something that any of us aspire to and aim for. But happiness will never be present when your mind is full of chaos, worries and insecurity. Especially, in this modern age, the stress and insecurity is increasing when we have to face so many consequences from the surrounding life. Meanwhile, the moral and spiritual values considered as the foundation of a happy life seem to have been neglected or they no longer have a place in today's society. Natural disasters, epidemics ... are the wake-up calls for us from "Mother nature" about the decadence in the lifestyle and dignity of people today.
More than 2600 years ago, in South Asia, there appeared an Enlightened One we commonly call him the Buddha, what he left behind for future generations is a treasure trove of transcendent yet practical teachings that are as profound about life as he himself claimed to be: "Monks, one person is born in the world for the welfare and happiness of the people, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans. What one person? The fully enlightened Buddha. Monks, this is the one person who arises in the world for the welfare and happiness of the people, out of compassion for the world, for the benefit, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans."
This book is written in the context that our humanity has just experienced the horror of the Covid-19 pandemic, then earthquakes, wars... Realizing that so much insecurity and suffering still exist in today's technologically advanced age, the author would like to venture to retell the teachings of the Buddha more than 26 centuries ago, but they are still hold true until now. To give readers a deeper insight into the nature of life. Thence, we can derive valuable spiritual knowledge for our spiritual life in order to minimize the consequences of society at risk of affecting ourselves and firmly face the events of life around us.....
