Ungekürzte Neuaufnahme zum 10 jährigen Jubiläum der Bücher vom Kleinen Buddha. Es war einmal ein kleiner Buddha. Täglich sitzt er unter seinem Bodhi-Baum und meditiert. Das tut er gern, und er liebt seinen Platz unter dem alten Baum. Doch etwas fehlte in seinem Leben, das ihm weder die Wolken am Himmel, noch die Bäume am Boden geben konnten. Also begibt er sich auf eine Reise und trifft dort auf Menschen, die jeder für sich eine Antwort darauf gefunden haben, was im Leben wirklich zählt. Und der Buddha weiß: Es sind immer die kleinen Dinge, die das Geheimnis des Glücks ausmachen.

Es sind viele Momente in unserem Leben - so zeigt es uns Bestseller-Autor Bernhard Moestl, in den rund dreißig Kapiteln dieses Lebenshilfe-Ratgebers mit buddhistischen Weisheiten -, in denen ganz alltägliche Erlebnisse uns den Blick für den wahren Reichtum in unserem Leben öffnen können.
