Guide to the Buddhist Path,
By Guy Parsons "Snosrap" (Thames NZ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guide to the Buddhist Path (Paperback)
As the Title states , this is a guide to The Buddhist Path. An insightful guide, background and even a starting point for anyone who wants to find out what Buddhism is, has been and (possibly) will be. Take it at any level, this book will speak to everyone from the casual browser to the serious seeker. Beautifully written by the founder of the the Western Buddhist Order and Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (now the Triratna Buddhist Order & Triratna Buddhist Community). I recommend this book with love.
