5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking, March 20, 2003

By A Customer

While this is a light hearted look at Buddhist Principles, I found it quite thought provoking. The format is cartoon line drawings with a short statement of Buddhist Principle on each page. Some pages will make you smile, others may cause you to pause and reflect. As a 'sheep collector', this is a must have book but I was pleasantly surprised by content after my purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple Delight, April 10, 2006

By	Dr. D. M. Armstrong (Uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a kind and fluffy book: it makes no claims for itself but infiltrates a kind sense of compassion into the reader. Beyond rubies. buy it. You will kick yourself if you don't.
