really useful and erudite and inspiring

i found this book realy inspiring. the quotations come from buddhist scriptures, and a wide variety of sources.The pearls are linked in each section by the introduction,writen by the editor, who writes both clearly and manages to convey very clearly concepts that many people at first find strange, 'eastern' foreign or just confusing. This is a great companion for any one who has a sincere interest in the buddhist path,is tired with the ceasless frustrations of life,( samsara) and needs some pointers on the way,the way of practice that directly offers the way out of suffering, called by many liberation. A beautiful and inspiring book.
