Awakening to the Sacred

Summary: Simple, yet striking.........
Review: This is the second book I have read recently, authored by Lama Surya Das.

He puts things very simply, yet in a real manner. Things that any regular Joe can incorporate in his day to day lifestyle.

His sense of humor, love, and authenticity pour through his writing.

Thank you Lama Surya for all your wisdom.....

Summary: The Pretentious Path to "Enlightenment"
Review: Words can not describe how utterly disappointing this book was. The language is arrogant and assuming. Absolutely not intended for the begining Buddhist. It is a superficial attempt to reach the masses(if those masses happen to have a Masters or PHD). At times, it seems, this book was written as nothing more than a long-winded display of his vast vocabulary. Clearly, the author does not get the concept of simplicity.

If you are a lost and shallow yuppie searching for a thin attempt at clarity and depth... this is the book for you- enjoy!
