Dont read this book unless you fully accept reincarnationJune 13, 2007 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this book having been recently studying Zen buddhism and found the focus of this book was getting ready for re-birth and being scared of how one was to be re-born. As a student of philosophy I have not accepted the theory of re-birth although I find most Buddhist teachings to be practical and informative. I am not ready to accept that my mind will float off when I die and I may end up a "hell ghost" or a fly or some other insect and would say to anyone that unless they accept this theory, there is little to be taken from reading this book.
An Excellent Book for the Buddhist StudentOctober 19, 2000 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
While I may be somewhat biased in my opinion, for the author is my advisor, I found this book to be very informative on the Buddhist traditions and teachings, while still being an easily understandable read for those without a strong Buddhist background. I highly recommend this book for a novice Buddism student.
