Short, sensible introduction to Buddhism,
By
This review is from: Buddhism from Within: An Intuitive Introduction to Buddhism (Paperback)
I've bought several copies of this book for friends and family who wonder why I find Buddhism appealing. There is almost no Buddhist jargon in the book, but the central ideas of Buddhism are set out in a straight-forward, cowboy logic sort of way. This book will be interesting and the ideas plausible to most pragmatic, rational-empiricist Americans, whether moderately religious or irreligious. Sadly, it will probably not find so welcoming a reception among fundamentalists in other religions, though its tone is respectful of other faiths. There is no sense that Rev. Macphillamy is proselytizing, though it is clear that he is committed to his practice. I recommend this book highly to any Buddhist practitioner who wants to reassure his loved ones he has not gone completely off the deep end.

A great intro book to Buddhism.,

This review is from: Buddhism from Within: An Intuitive Introduction to Buddhism (Paperback)
I love this book. I have been investigating the Buddhist religion and thought process for some time and this book just lays it out in easy to understand language. It's a book that I can read for a short while and ponder or read for quite awhile in one sitting. The author presents the philosophy of Buddhism from a 12 Step prospective which makes it very easy for me to relate to. Anyone who is part of a 12 Step program would benefit from reading this wonderful enlightening book.

Great introductory book,
By Salmontree "Salmontree" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buddhism from Within: An Intuitive Introduction to Buddhism (Paperback)
I love to recommend this book to any person who wants to learn about Zen Buddhism. It is clear, easy to read and no matter how many times I read it, I always learn something new. It has that great clarity and simplicity of writing that can only be done by a person with mastery of the subject matter. I want to install a homing device on my book though. I have bought several copies over the years to replace the ones that go astray when I lend them out!
