    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was excellent. In addressing the Buddhist concepts of karma and rebirth, the author draws on not only scriptural sources -- though he is clearly well-versed in the canon to find some obscure references -- but also on 'classic' and contemporary culture, as well as making reference...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21113708">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A really excellent, clear and intelligent discussion of karma and rebirth. Nagapriya looks at some of the difficulties Westerners may have with these concepts. He focuses on the importance of spiritual practice over dogmatic beliefs and reiterates that the Dharma is to be seen as the means to libera...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30705791">more...</a>]]></body>
