Ken Mcleod

HarperOne, 2002

More than Useful -- It's Essential
This overview of key Buddhist concepts is more than useful to anyone interested in Buddhism, or in any meditative discipline -- it's essential. Ken McLeod describes Buddhist concepts in a way that is completely accessible to any literate person. McLeod takes foreign terms like "bodhisattva", which have been bandied about Western dharma centres with imprecision for years, and translates them with ...

Anger : Wisdom for Cooling the Flames

55 reviews
Thich Nhat Hanh, Ken McLeod

Macmillan Audio, 2001

Essential reading
In a society where anger is "normal" this should be required reading. The author is one of the great spiritual teachers of our time and is very naturally a profound and compassionate psychologist. This is not about "getting it out". You learn to let those hot feelings cool so that you become less and less habituated to angry responses and discover more and more about self-control and, with ...

More advanced commentary on Lojong practice
Of the three guides to Lojong practice: Start Where You Are (by Pema Chödrön), Seven-Point Mind Training (by Alan B. Wallace), and Training the Mind (by Chögyam Trungpa), this one is more advanced in presentation and is more esoteric (Vajrayana) in nature. The other texts mentioned present the material more for the beginner. All of these texts are excellent. This book is mentioned in ...

An Arrow to the Heart: A Commentary on the Heart Sutra

Trafford Publishing, 2007

Unique & Profound
On p.6, the author's words express my experience of the entire book: "This meeting? It's a mystery... You know something took place, but you can't put it in words." Throughout my initial reading I often understood, re-lived, or sensed things for which words were inadequate. These experiences were both intense and ephemeral. I found that allowing the words to wash over me--without struggling ...

The Path to Enlightenment
For the last forty years, the Tibetan government has been exiled in India. In 1959 the new Communist Chinese government forced the non-violent Tibetan Buddhist government, lead by the fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, to flee the land in preparation to overtake the Tibetan people.

A great book for appropriate readers
This book is aimed at those who already have the basic knowledge of Buddhism. Those who wish to know the basic of Buddhism should pick up What Buddhists Believe by K. Sri Dhammananda. Stages of Meditation is about the practice of the Madhyamika school of Buddhism. Though a follower of the Theravada school, I greatly enjoy the teaching expounded in this text. The language is precise and to the ...

Thich Nhat Hanh

Macmillan Audio, 2002

a must have! this book has saved me!
I first thought the book was simple and repetitive. But when I experienced a loss and re-read the book, I finally realized how profound this book really is. I had been dealing with the subject of death for quite a few years. (I started with the book HAGAKURE, by Tsunetomo Yamamoto. You may or may not like to check that out. It's a more stoic approach to similar subjects). Anyway, I ...

The Meaning of Life: Buddhist Perspectives on Cause and Effect

6 reviews
Dalai Lama

Macmillan Audio, 2008

Nonviolence, Wisdom, and Compassion
As with the other books of the Dalai Lama I have read, this book combines difficult and obscure teachings with the simplicity of the everyday. The book consists of the text of a lecture series the Dalai Lama gave in London in 1984, before he received the Nobel Prize. The title of the book together with its subtitle "Buddhist perspectives on cause and effect" give some idea of its breadth. The ...
