Living Wisely: Further Advice from Nagarjuna’s Precious Garland

How do we live wisely? This is the question Sangharakshita seeks to answer in this commentary on Precious Garland of Advice for a King. In the companion volume, Living Ethically, Sangharakshita showed us that to live a Buddhist life we need to develop an ethical foundation, living in a way motivated increasingly by love, contentment and awareness. However, from a Buddhist viewpoint, ‘being good’ is not good enough. We need to use our positive ethical position to develop wisdom, a deep understanding of the true nature of existence.
