    I wish the author were not so wordy and selfcentered


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It can be hard to make sense of it all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I received a used book but purchased a new one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Buddhism contradicts itself much like all religions and mythologies and wright works to break out of the infinite loops the literal texts present


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While this book invokes buddhism in the title i found it to be more about meditation and psychology


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The book is readable by someone like myself who would like to know about but would not be likely to completely accept the traditional interpretations of buddhist practices


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
