Customer Reviews

This is a great introduction to Buddhism.

This book approaches Buddhism from the standpoint of the Chinese Ch'an tradition, became zen when it was transmitted to Japan. It is a great book for beginners, and explains the basic beliefs of Buddism. It also emphasizes practice (the application of Buddhism to life), and especially meditation practice. It is one of the books I give away often to people who ask me about Buddhism.
