Summary: AN EXCELlENT INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHISM!
Review: I have been a follower of Buddhist Philosophies for many, many years. When I was first introduced to Buddhism in the late 1960's, I found Buddhism to be a very in-depth, complex experience. Today, that has been simplified by authors such as this one who have taken the concepts of Ancient Buddhism and adapted them to the Western World.This book, in particular, will help the reader to understand that our search for Buddha and Enlightenment, leads us not in the direction of any external source, but is found within ourselves. Each of us has the power to become Enlightened and discover a happier, more fulfilling, loving and peaceful life. True happiness is not found in others or any outside source, but is found deep within ourselves, but first of all, we must discover who we truly are and our purpose for being. The many concepts presented in this book have the potential to help readers find inner-peace and contentment, and by doing so, also enriching the lives of those around them on a personal and global level. Love and compassion for one's fellow man can, indeed, enrich the world. One other book I highly recommend is "Awakening the Buddha Within" by Lama Surya Das. "Awakening" is my favourite of all books by Lama Surya Das; it is very easily understood and is a thoroughly enjoyable read (made moreso by a slight touch of humour throughout) which explains the basic philosophies of Buddhism. May each reader find peace, happiness and love on the path to Enlightenment.

Summary: Great Explanation of Nichiren Buddhism
Review: I have been practicing Nichiren Buddhism in the United States for 30 years, and have read innumerable publications regarding Buddhism, but this is the best concise explanation of our practice and its ideals that I have ever read. It is intelligent, easy reading for someone who is not familiar with this Buddhist practice. It also conveys the compatibility of Buddhism with engaged modern living. After reading this book, I immediately passed it on to a relative, who is a devote Catholic and had previously asked for something to read which would explain my faith.

Summary: All that therapy
Review: I have spent a lot of time and money on self-help and external help, and the one chapter on Happiness was worth the whole book. I have read several books on the ins and outs of Buddhism and this book just easily sums it up. If you want to know about yourself and todays world and how to deal with the maddness, buy this book!
