5.0 out of 5 stars A book for those who believe that there must be more, 18 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I have read this book several times till today and I think I will reread it, because it simply has offered to me a new perspective about the meaning of life and our daily issues. This perspective was at the beginning in some ways quite new to me, but I noticed that from the beginning on, it started to change my life,my behavior patterns and help me a great deal. This book does not only provide an insight to how we live our lives and what make us suffer here but also encourages and shows us how we can get in touch with our innate nature , purify our minds and improve our ways to live "our lives". This is exciting and worth to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read a clear and sympathetic guide, 25 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Although I have not ready widely concerning the topic of buddhism, I was pleased that this book was recommended to me by one of the staff at a bookshop in Central London. It is, in my view, a satisfying guide to the way in which buddhism can assist day to day with problems that I face. I would recommend this book to anyone with a skimpy knowledge of the subject and a yet an interest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tibetan Buddhism for Beginners, 9 Mar 2002
Lama Surya Das does a good job of introducing the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Many people see Buddhism as an exotic Eastern tradition without any relevance to our lives here and now. However, one need not embrace Buddhism to gain much from Buddhist concepts. This book is a little soft on certain concepts (like reincarnation). However, this book is meant for one not already deeply involved in the practice of Buddhism, so maybe it's better that way. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life: A Book of Eastern Wisdom" by Taro Gold. Excellent.
