    <body><![CDATA[Don't recommend as first book on Buddhism for the uninitiated.  Very abstract and conceptual, and other authors have explained same concepts better.  But this will definitely bend your mind about reality, especially if you're used to Westernized/ego/material-driven concepts of self and reality.]]></body>
