Buddhism Plain and Simple

this is a really clear and accessible introduction to the basic concepts of Buddhism. It helped me a lot in furthering my basic understanding of the concepts. I listened to an audio version of this book, and enjoyed the author's straightforward style. I think listening was a better experience for me than reading might have been.

Greatest book I've ever read. So awakening.

Great book to explain Buddhism in simple terms. Great to refer to as well.

im not a very religious person, but i really like buddhism philosophy

Sort of a No BS overview of Buddhism. Ultimately it is a book of questions. Pretty much the same questions over and over and over and over. It seems to me this book is a compilation of his writings somewhat haphazardly thrown together to create this book.

Great book with great philosophies, but gets a bit repetious with the whole *seeing* thing.

Absolutely best "first book" on buddhism.

'cause I need things plain and simple :-) awesome - really IS plain
