Eye-opening

Got this book to see if Buddhism is worth pursuing. I am so intrigued by this lifestyle. This book helped me learn that Buddhism is way more than yoga and meditating on my chakras. I am confident I am on the right path after reading this book. Easy reading and eye-opening.

Pretty simple introduction

This is an easy-to-understand guide into Buddhism which goes over all of the major concepts without spending too much time in depth. Pretty good if you haven't the slightest understanding of Buddhism to begin but want to dip your toes.

Recommended!

The book is in a question-answer format and covers all I would ask on my own. I've never learned so much about religion so fast. It's a promising Buddhism audio piece I'd like to listen to again and again.

A good introductory book about the subject.

This is a very good introductory book about Buddhism. This book is written in a simple language and easy to read. It would be nice to have a glossary of the English translation of the ancient words at the back of the book.

Great introduction

I loved this book. I'm new to the concepts of Buddhism and this was a perfect introduction for me, I highly recommend it even if you are just curious about what Buddhism is all about. In the beginning, the concepts might seem confusing, but it all ties together very nicely!
