I have read so many books dealing with the Buddha's path to spiritual freedom. I always completely floors me when I find someone who can treat the same material in such a way that I read in awe of both the power that the message still holds for me and the great depth of understanding that a writer can bring to its expression. This is one of those occasions. This is a beautiful piece of writing, so clear so concise and so gentle while remaining as uncompromising as the Buddha himself may have been. It is probably best suited to a reader who already has a grasp of the basics, though it is not at all weighted with jargon, read without background much of the message might just slide by and that would be a pity.
