I started looking for Buddhism works and Buddhist books because I was going through a bad patch in my life and needed some help to get me centered and to get me through it.So far it has been working, little by little. I have found Buddhism itself to be very helpful and I have brought several books on the subject.I found this collection recently and I got it because it sounded good and like it would clarify certain things for me. It has helped a lot and I found it to be really nice with a lot of other new insights into Buddhism. So I like it a lot.I am trying to put many of Buddhism concepts to practice in my life and it has all been helping a great deal and I will continue to do so.I recommend the collection to people and I recommend Buddhism itself and hope that others can find the calmness that I am finally starting to find.
I thought this was a really nice collection. I was looking for a book to kinda ease me into Buddhism. I knew little about the proper Buddhism ,just little things I had heard or picked up and wanted a book to explain it to me easily. So when I saw this collection and it had quite a few books in it, I was quite interested. I haven't finished yet, but I am definitely enjoying it. I had read the Dhammapada before (or at least some of it) and its very beautiful, so I'm happy I have the whole thing now to read when I want.My fav bit so far is the one part with the questions and answers. It reads really quickly and I really got a feeling that I was getting it. Like someone was teaching me the stuff.So definitely worth it to me :-)
I am always looking to expand my knowledge of Buddhism. This is a very in-depth study of the history of the Buddha and how his concepts became "Buddhism". It translates the earliest found works written into an easy to read and understand book. The book is written in a way that even those without any knowledge of Buddhism will come away with a better than basic education on the subject. Although the book is rather long, it holds your interest and moves quickly. Of all the books I have read on Buddhism, this one seems to cover more information than any others so far. I would recommend this book to anyone questioning the Buddhist concepts, as well as to those wanting to learn more or simply refresh their own understanding of Buddhism.
The book, while interesting, is told as a fantastic fable filled with hyperbole. I thought from its description that it was more of a historical perspective on Buddhist concepts but these are the actual translations of stories from the original texts.
I know I really shouldn't be giving a great review for a spam book that collects a bunch of public domain texts and appropriates them.But this is really a good collection of Sacred texts and analyses. Makes a great reference tool and overview of buddhist thought and practice.
BUDDHISM and BUDDHIST TEACHINGS: Ultimate Collection of Texts For BeginnersI am new to Buddhism. I have really enjoyed this collection. It has helped me to understand Buddhish. I would highly recomend this book to any one who is interested in a more sound spiritual journey. - Richard Glenn
Arrived immediately on my Kindle Fire tablet. I became interested from a discussion with a friend who has helped me greatly. This is a very interesting read and a lifetime topic or philosophy. I have studied various religions and philosophies and this was also quite interesting.
I learned much from this book. I have always been interested in different beliefs and this was very helpful. I liked that it was a collection of works in one book. It took me a while to go through it but it was well worth it.
