We are living in an age when people are disconnected from their true identity
and this false perception is validated from every angle.
There is the possibility of transcending this identification with our body in each and every moment.
Our body is impermanent but our true nature is not.
When someone manifests their true nature, they live out of love, kindness and joy. Our true essence goes beyond birth and death. Is it like the sky. In Buddhism, this is no self

A sweet book in daily language about buddhism, meditation, enlightenment, etc. It is very unpretentious and warm. Most important of all, it gives the right message very explicitly: Awakening is not a complicated business. A good book to read when you've been away from spiritual concerns for a while and want to get in that frame of mind again. I imagine it would also be a good book for younger people (teenagers) due to how accessible the writing is.
Simply brilliant! Direct, clear, open...this book is a straightforward series of short lectures on what the core tasks are for becoming an enlightened being. They are simple but, as we all know not so easy because of the beliefs we have about ourselves and the world around us. No fancy rituals here, just working with the foundation of our problems, our habitual mind.

A collection of transcribed talks, with surprisingly little duplication between them. He has a great sense of humor, but it is only rarely revealed. Practical wisdom for living life in happiness.

A deceptively simple book about Buddhism.
This book offers some valuable insight although the writing can feel a but too esoteric at times. Overall, I enjoyed it.
3 ½ stars maybe. He explained some things more clearly than I've read before. Definitely worth reading. His disdain for theists was pretty unpleasant, though.
