Product Description

Product Description

This book describes the basic principles of Buddhism. Much has been written about Buddhism and how to practice it. Readers will have no difficulty finding hundreds of books on the topic. This book simply focuses on the essence of Buddhism, as expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Path.

Buddhism is not a religion as such; it does not propose an external God. It does not seek to replace a person’s existing religious beliefs, only to supplement them. The Buddha, in all likelihood, would rather his followers describe themselves simply as Followers of The Way.

This isn't a very long book, but it clearly and simply explains what Buddhism is all about and the main principles of it. I would say it is an excellent place to start to find out what this religion (if that's what it is because the book describes it as an addition to one's own religion, which, after reading it, I can agree with). It has made me want to find out more.

Cool pocket guide. 8 Aug 2011

It's a very short, punchy summary of the main precepts and thought of Buddhism.

As such it does it's job very well being both clear and readily understood.

It's a great way of grasping in just a few minutes the key concepts and perhaps offering some alternatives to readers. Good job. CW

It is good of the author to offer this as a free download.

It is nicely formatted and give a decent introduction to Buddhism including the Four Noble Truths and the eight-fold path.

It is very short so you could almost certainly get all of this online for free. However the Kindle is a good device for this sort of thing as you can use it as a quick and easy reference.

The section of meditation was useful.
