This book is a very simple overview of Buddhism, and generalizes the history of the faith. The book ends with some pretty cool quotes. I didn't expect more than what the title claims. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine!
Short and informative book on buddha. Enlightening and informative. The sayings are soul searching. Enjoyed and recommend to others. Good read.
This is short, but very sweet and simple, especially if you did not know how Buddha started. Thank you for submitting your work.
