Buddhist character analysis

More about the book

This text explores the Buddhist system of personality classification. In this guide to the human psyche the authors describe the six roots of character - craving, hatred, confusion, faith, intelligence and speculation - and the way they affect literally everything we do, from how we dress and eat to how we work and think. The book explains how best to observe and assess physical and mental behaviour, emphasizing how correct application of this system leads to smoother relationships and a greater sense of happiness in daily life. When combined with a spiritual training, this form of character analysis deepens insight into the true nature of reality.
