Hung I Shih, Abbot, Jade Buddha Temple, Houston, "Chodron's plain English makes her beginner's guide nearly perfect for those new to Buddhism and those who simple want to learn more."--Booklist, American Library Association, "This book is written for people wanting to understand basic Buddhist principles and how to integrate them into their lives. . . . It will be of much benefit to its readers."--H.H. the Dalai Lama "Thubten Chodron has presented the Buddhist view on essential issues of spiritual development. . . . A tremendous resource for those interested in Buddhist practice."--Karma Lekshe Tsomo, president of Sakyadhita International Association of Buddhist Women "Chodron's plain English makes her beginner's guide nearly perfect for those new to Buddhism and those who simply want to learn more."-- Booklist "A very compassionate book. Her approach is nonsectarian and emphasizes the basic unity found within Buddhism."--Ryo Imamura, Jodo Shin priest and professor of psychology at Evergreen State College "Her lucid, correct, clear, and convincing manner is highly commendable."--Ven. Dr. Havanpola Ratanasara, College of Buddhist Studies, Los Angeles "Ven. Thubten Chodron is especially skilled in presenting Buddhist philosophy and practices in ways that are easily accessible and practical for Buddhists who live in the Western world."--Ven. Hung I Shih, abbot of Jade Buddha Temple in Houston "This is the perfect gift for family and friends who wish to understand one's engagement with Buddhism.

That quality of integration is where the Venerable Thubten Chodron is such a powerful writer and teacher."-- Branches of Light "Here is an excellent introduction to Buddhism.

A lot of what is mentioned is really common sense: be compassionate, tolerant, truly enjoy things, ask questions, which, in this day and age, we sometimes tend to forget. Consider this a 'refresher course in life.'"--The Feminist Review, "Her lucid, correct, clear, and convincing manner is highly commendable."--Ven. Dr. Havanpola Ratanasara, College of Buddhist Studies, Los Angeles

- 7***j (867)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
- e***d (296)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat price for this huge book. Shipping was delayed but not too unreasonable though the book could have been packed a bit better with some bubble wrap as it tore through the very thin mailer envelope. Would recommend seller to cushion heavy books better when using thin mailer envelopes to avoid the tearing and potentially loosing books. Book is as described! Satisfied with my purchase and would buy from again if packaging was more sturdy. Thank you :)The Gourmet Cookbook, Vol. 1 - Gourmet Magazine Staff - Acceptable - See con... (#157131846434)
