Customer Reviews

Awesome easy to read book!

This book is a great way to get introduce to the basic Buddhism ideas and philosophy. Easy read and awesome graphics.

A simple Delight

This is a kind and fluffy book: it makes no claims for itself but infiltrates a kind sense of compassion into the reader. Beyond rubies. buy it. You will kick yourself if you don't.

Thought Provoking

While this is a light hearted look at Buddhist Principles, I found it quite thought provoking. The format is cartoon line drawings with a short statement of Buddhist Principle on each page. Some pages will make you smile, others may cause you to pause and reflect. As a 'sheep collector', this is a must have book but I was pleasantly surprised by content after my purchase!

GREAT book!

Excellent book! It conveys its message in short, concise sentences, and pictures to match!

Adorable

This book is great whether you are into buddism and sheep or not. You can learn a great deal while being entertained by these comical illustrations depicting the messages. It's a must have.
