 Perfect In Depth Intro to Buddhism
Thich Naht Hanh is such an eloquent writer. This was my first introduction to him as an author. I love this book. It is a staple in my collection of Buddhism texts and I find myself refering to it continuously.
This is an in depth introduction to Buddhism, including The Four Nobel Truths, The Eightfold Path and so much more. It is very in depth, but the writing style makes it so easy to read and absorb.
I recommend this to anyone interested in Buddhism and the ceasation of suffering.
A Great Intro to Buddhism
"The Heart of Buddha's Teaching" is one of the best books I've read. It's a great introduction to the basic principals and ideas of Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh really explained things in such a way that I feel I'm walking away with ideas and resources to help deal with everyday problems.
I'm tempted to call this a self-help book with how every chapter seemed to address things that I as a person am confronted with and am trying to understand. How Hanh applies Buddha's teaching to suffering, anger and how to achieve peace and zen is something I believe everyone needs and will benefit from reading. I've read other books that felt as if they were speaking of things beyond my grasp and ability to make sense of; this was not that book. Everything flowed nicely, the concepts were presented in terms that weren't too complicated, the examples given were ones that did not distract from the ideas and points.
Definitely a must read and worth your time and attention.
One of the best!
This is one of the best, most intelligent and broad introductions to buddhism and buddhist philosophy available. An important addition to your library.
Excellent! A clear and plain introduction of Buddhism
This book did a great job to introduce Buddhism ideas in a clear and plain way, which makes Buddhism easy to be understood and easy to be accepted. Moreover, I'm also glad that he wouldn't simply follow whatever in the Buddhism texture without reflection, like most Buddhist scholars did. He reflected the ideas, explaining them reasonably and even asked readers to think, reflect and then see if they could accept or not...The author himself is a peaceful and great figure in modern Buddhism society. The experience of reading his book always brings me a peaceful mind. If you're interested in Buddhism but hesitate for its complicated terminology, this book is highly recommended.
Nice Intro to Buddhism and its concepts
This is a very well written introduction to Buddhism and Buddhism's primary concepts and teachings. As always, Thich Nhat Hanh is very easy and enjoyable to read.
