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.

Most importantly, it offers good advice for anyone who wants to lead a more sane balanced and compassionate life."- Bodhi Tree Book Review, "I'd recommend this book not just for people interested in Buddhism, but really for everyone. 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

- m***m (85)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI ordered the book but the order was canceled and my money was refunded. The seller let me know that the book had been damaged in storage. I greatly appreciate not being sent a damaged copy. This is a trustworthy seller.
- l***u (389)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseafter more than two weeks, i asked for a status since the item tracking had a shipping label number but no evidence of actually shipping. seller then (and only then, and without any direct communication) canceled the purchase and sent a refund. i’m glad for the refund but sure wish he’d reached out directly two weeks ago. i must start over now. i would not use this seller. unreliable and poor communications.Dragonlover's Guide to Pern (#186552566955)
- 2***d (460)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePackaging was offering full protection. However, condition of the item was far from being as advertised. Unusable device. Lots of trouble. Bad overall experience. Seller fully refunded his part, but I wasn't refunded for a bit more than one third of the total expense, that being eBay shipping I guess. So, loss of time, energy, and money. Very frustrating experience. It's unfortunate but, based on this sole experience, I can't recommended this seller.Sony Sports FM Walkman SRF-4 Tested & Working Well (#186799844421)
