Publisher's summary

How can I be the person I want to be when I’m stuck in a job I hate? How is it possible to stay present in an era of nearly constant distractions? Can I pick someone up at a bar or club and still call myself spiritual? This nitty-gritty guide to life for the spiritual-but-not-necessarily-religious uses Buddhist teachings to answer those burning questions and a host of others related to going out, relationships, work, and social action.

Based on Lodro Rinzler’s popular advice columns, Walk like a Buddha offers wisdom that can be applied to just the sort of dilemmas that tend to arise for anyone making even a modest attempt to walk like a Buddha - that is, to live with honesty, wisdom, and compassion in the face of whatever life surprises you with.

down to earth Buddhism

I've listened to several Buddhist books recently, alan watts has been great for entertaining philosophy. Tich Nat Hahn has been great for Buddhism from a modern monk.

this was a great perspective from a more everyday person. It was well written and had good insight

Unexpected

At first, I thought "who is this kid?", and ended with "wow, enlightenment is a journey"

Having finished Meditations by Marcus Aurelius before starting this book, I still had the "father figure" imprint in my mind of who I can listen to. My own misconceptions almost made me miss out on the amazing content of this book

Thank you to the author for sharing this. I hope to come back to it and learn from the new perspective I'll have

Good Reading

What did you love best about Walk like a Buddha?

I enjoyed Lodro's narration - he seemed very authentic and plugged into what he was talking about.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I felt like this was really just a sampler... I think I would've liked much more depth in some areas and complete removal of other content.

A great beginner's buddhist intro. Maybe not great for people looking to specifics of technique or practice.

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish

I am relatively new to spiritual practice and found Lodlo Rinzler’s take highly to be highly inviting and engaging. I intend to implement the suggestions presented in this book into my daily routine going forward. Very grateful to Audible for including this title within my membership!
