    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the most important books I've read in my life. I highly recommend it to anyone considering Buddhism. Trungpa asks important questions about the motivation for faith in a materialist culture. For example, are you drawn to Buddhism because it's got a nice aesthetic or because you are re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30121719">more...</a>]]></body>
