The booklet, with just over 30 pages of text, and 30 unlabeled pictures (meant as visions for meditation) is accompanied by a 30 minute DVD of the Australian Buddhist Monk Thubten Lhundrup offering meditations on the "ten non-virtuous actions". Since he offers the advice to "Be Gentle" on yourself, I will be gentle on this book. Sometimes less is better, and this book provides an admirable outline on the background of Buddhism, the Noble Truths and Path ... probably best for someone completely unfamiliar with it. Perhaps as an introduction, the beginner would have been well served if the authors had put in sources for more information. The packaging is excessive, with book and DVD is large box and plastic.
