Clear and Pointed
6 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Cutting through the White Noise, Levine just does not just explain the basic tenents but applies them to the lives we all lead. Dealing with sexual temptations? "Sexual suffering is caused not by the energy itself, but by our own inability to understand and skillfully deal with that energy." He suggests ways to do just that, all the while adhering to Sid's(short hand for the Buddha) blessing that while his finger may point us to the moon, his finger is not the moon. Forgiveness? Peel away the actor from the action. "An action from a confused and suffering being in the past doesn't represent who that being is forever;it is only an expression of the being's suffering." To lash out at those who hurt us because they have been hurt and are in pain only continues the cycle. A worthwhile contribution.

punk enlightenment!

I was blessed by receiving this book as a gift from my wife. This book helped me change alot of perspectives on life. I enjoyed the stories and the techniques taught in this book. Being young and rebellious were things I held dear, now that I am getting older, I found that I can still shake up the norm just by being buddhist and respecting all life. Great read. Thank you Noah! --Eric H. Pittsburgh PA

Great primer on Buddhism
25 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
I've started several books on Buddhism (and never finished.) This is the first one that I felt was really accessible to someone like me, who hasn't studied with a Buddhist teacher, and who's easily overwhelmed by "The Fourfold This" and "The Twelve-Fold That."
There's a grit and realness to Mr. Levine's writing that's totally refreshing, compared to other books on Buddhism. My copy is full of dog-eared pages, and it's the only book I give to people who are just starting their journeys of trying to understand Buddhism. I strongly recommend it if you're just beginning to explore Buddhism, if you need a refresher, or if you've been studying Buddhism for awhile, and it just hasn't quite clicked.
