Product Description

Review
"This is not just another nice book about Buddhism, one telling us what we like to hear and are used to hearing. No--it is a clear and challenging showing of the fundamental truth of our lives. This is an exceptional book. Make good use of it." -- Charlotte Joko Beck author of Everyday Zen

Product Description
With depth, honesty, and clarity, "Buddhism Is Not What You Think" focuses on the single most essential impulse in any serious spiritual inquiry - the desire to awaken. It's a book about being awake - about being fully human. The Buddha was not interested in theology or cosmology. He didn't speak on these subjects, and in fact, would not answer questions on them. His primary concerns were psychological, moral, and highly practical ones. This forms the basis of a series of engaging teaching chapters that offer readers an intensely practical, accessible path to learning what it truly means to be awake in every aspect of daily living.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Marvellous introduction to Zen Buddhism, 11 Jan 2009
By G. A. Heiss "shadowlight" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Wisdom of InsecurityMy first foray into Zen for many years and I can't recommend this book enough. Steve Hagen makes a great deal of sense out of what can be a mystifying concept for a society founded on the idea of ego. Written with a real sense of 'commonsense' and a deep understanding of the subject but a renowned practitioner its very easy to grasp. I find Hagen and Alan Watts to be clear lights in a sometimes muddy landscape regarding Zen. I felt truly uplifted by reading this book and hungry for more experiences of 'now'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essays that hit to the core, 8 Jun 2009
Read this before and now buying it for a friend. The beliefs that ensnare us all are exposed here under the great title Buddhism is not what you think. It would be great if all books on Buddhism touched on these themes. Direct and challenging, has a real relevance for me and an antidote to much modern myth making in Buddhism.
