从日常处境进入佛教实践

原书介绍强调智慧、善意与生活目的，并将佛法的实践场所延伸到家庭、工作与社区。它以短篇文章、故事、例子和提醒组织内容，而不是按佛教教义名词编排的体系教材。阅读时可先确认某篇所讨论的具体生活问题，再看作者怎样连接选择、关系与价值；本页只依据来源介绍说明这种写作方向，不编造未取得的文章情节。

自我认识与选择主题

Knowing Oneself、Learning、Better Choices、One’s Stage in Life、What Should We Learn?、The Choices We Make、Goals 等题目贯穿目录。它们提供查阅自我认识、学习与选择问题的入口，但目录本身不能证明每篇的具体结论。Personal Brand 和 Résumé 也出现在本卷中，呈现作者从日常角色与生活经验切入的题目安排。

关系、工作与价值主题

Persuading Others、Misunderstandings、Learning from People、How to Be Accepted by Others 与 The People We Choose to See 对应关系主题；Going to Work、Balance、Talent and Wealth、Status、A Different Kind of Wealth 对应工作与价值的题目。Causes and Conditions 的题名也保留在目录中。这些是原卷实际文章，不把同作者其他书籍的章节替换进来。

英文目录与版本边界

目录前置致谢、星云大师介绍、译者导言和 The Kaleidoscope of Life 序言，正文编号1至45。首篇从第1页起，末篇 Goals 从第179页起；末篇起始页不能当成全书总页数。来源书目注明平装，印刷字段填写为无，未提供更具体的印刷说明，因此不据此推断纸张、颜色、开本或总页数。

阅读路径与适合读者

可以先读译者导言和序言了解英文版的组织，再按需要选读自我认识、关系、工作或价值相关题目，最后回到完整目录查看前后篇目。英文题名可用来定位原卷，中文解释是目录阅读辅助；未取得的具体文章论证和案例不补写。希望阅读完整佛教理论体系或查找其他卷册的人，应区分本卷的日常短文形式和范围。

常见问题

这本书属于哪一卷？

来源正式题名明确为 Volume 2，不能用卷一的目录或介绍代替。

由谁翻译？

来源列 Fo Guang Shan London Translation Team 为译者，作者列 Venerable Master Hsing Yun 星云大师。

正文有多少篇？

来源目录列45篇编号文章，另有致谢、作者介绍、译者导言和序言。

全书是否只有179页？

无法这样判断。179是末篇 Goals 的起始页，来源未注明总页数。
