The Kuan Yin Oracle: The Oracle of the Goddess of Compassion

4 reviews
Stephen L. Karcher

Little, Brown, 2001

It is amazingly accurate, for me at least.
Although I was initially disappointed there were no sticks, my desire to learn this oracle system gave me impetus to go to Chinatown and ask around. (I live in San Francisco so I may have a lil advantage). They sell sticks of fate there with the bamboo cup. If you can't locate that you can a) get bamboo skewer sticks, paint them red on one tip (as the book says) and number them from 1-100 on the ...

Sarah Conover

Eastern Washington University Press, 2001

Kindness goes a long way
First I used this book with my children as we learned about different religions and spiritual views. As they got older we visited it again because these Buddhist stories are applicable to so many situations in life regardless of your views on God, theist, or atheist. Now as a religious education teacher of younger people at the Unitarian Universalist fellowship I use this book extensively when ...

Little, Brown Book Group, 2005

Clear and concise
I have read just about everything from Tibetan,Chinese, & Japanese Buddhism to Zen to Taoism to the Bible to Greek Philosophers to metaphysical new age to many other more obscure material for more than 16 years. I must say this book is very straightforward but I could see how some people might not agree with everything the author has to say. I think this is the best book on the subject of Karma ...

Buddha's Little Instruction Book

13 reviews

Rider & Co, 1996

Excellent Book
I must admit, I am extremely surprised by some of the negative responses that followed this amazing book. Although simple, this book provided some of the most thought provoking, awe inspiring words I have ever set eyes upon. This book is not "trite" as certain people have commented. Look beyond the words of this book for its true meanings are beyond the world of visions. These succinct lines, ...

Tibetan Tales for Little Buddhas

Naomi C. Rose

Clear Light Books, 2004

Great Teaching Book
My daughter and I attend a Family Dharma class that teaches from a primary text for adults, but the class is geared towards little kids as far as time and content. However I really felt we needed some literature that was on her level (she is 6) and had images. Tibetan Tales was perfect. There are several stories that can be read individually and discussed. Some we had already heard and it was ...

Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill

33 reviews
Matthieu Ricard

Little, Brown and Company, 2006

Amazing
This book by Mattieu Ricard really breaks down happiness. He differentiates between pleasure and happiness and how happiness is something that must be cultivated and practiced. Mattieu Ricard also gives a handful of in depth meditation exercises at the end of a few chapters. And he points out that you don't have to be a Buddhist monk to achieve enlightenment, but everyone can reach a better ...

The light of Asia: Or, The great renunciation (MahaÌ?bhinishkramana) : being the life and teaching of ...

Edwin Arnold

Little, Brown, 1899

Educational and inspiring
This is indeed a beautiful poem. I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the origins of Buddhism. The Light of Asia is Guaranteed to give the reader light. The actual reading is like a wonderful journey, unvieling a mystery but not explaining it. It left me with a very peaceful sense. Note: I came by this book when a girlfriend's grandmother passed away. It is the original hardbound ...

Victor Pelevin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

With books like this, who needs drugs?
For Russian speakers: Definitely read this book (in Russian, obviously) if you liked Kafka. Read it if you ever felt curious about drugs. (This book should be classified as a "Schedule A" substance. :) Stay away from it if you like books that make sense. For English speakers: It's a great book, however, Pelevin _packs_ his books with cultural references - more so than any other widely ...
