The authors write that the book creates "conditions for readers to learn more about Buddhism, especially the teachings applied in real life. . . . We decided to title it "Learning Buddhism in Daily Life".
"Learning the Dharma in daily life" is an effort to systematically apply the Buddha's teachings to daily life, with the most basic teachings such as the Five Precepts, the process of practicing Precepts, Concentration, and Wisdom, or more practically, the benefits of practicing and applying the Buddha's teachings to life.

Buddhism a religion in which people follow the teachings of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) who lived and taught about 2500 years ago. Buddhists do not believe in a personal creator god. Buddhists believe in the Four Noble Truths, including that life is suffering because we are attached to our desires, but that suffering and attachment can be ended by living according to the Noble Eight-fold Path (ex. right thinking, right working, right speaking). The holy book is called the Tripitaka. It contains the teachings of the Buddha. Buddhists believe in rebirth after death (reincarnation). Their goal is to become Enlightened, to achieve Nirvana, and break the cycle of birth and death.
