Buddhism : The Complete Guide Of Buddhism: Everything You Need To Know To Practice Buddhist Teachings In Your Everyday Life

I’m not a religious person (this was usual in my country), but I was always, beginning from high school, interested why people believe in God, why there are so many religions in the world. Answer to these questions lays in philosophy and theology. I became neither the first nor the second. But I’ve read enough books to understand basics of some religions. Naturally, the first was Christianity as the main religion of my country. Now I want to get acquainted with Buddhism. I know it is very common in eastern part of Asia. But there are enough examples of practicing Buddhism in Western World, too. Right away I can remember Steve Jobs, Bill Clinton. It is difficult to read fundamental books of Buddhism. So the book by Djamel Boucly is convenient for my knowledge enlargement. It shows history of Buddhism from its appearance to modern times, its concepts, and at last, description of its practices. I can’t read this book fast because there are a lot of new information and difficult terms. But some things I’ve known already. Most interesting for me is the fact that Buddhism is not a religion but, in fact, a path to spiritual enlightenment and it does not have a dogma. I hope new discoveries wait for me while reading.

What a wonderful understanding I have gained from this book, much better than what I have taken from other books on Buddhism. Very easy to understand and instructional, this will be much valued for future reference.

Short, concise, and very interesting. I'd recommend to others. My only complaint is the number of grammatical and spelling errors.

A most excellent little book! Simple, direct and to the point. The author writes well and understands exactly what information to share, but, perhaps more importantly, how to convey that information completely and easily. A brief history lesson is followed by a world-wide overview of all of the different varieties of this belief system, and then a more in-depth look at the various aspects and practices to get one going on a daily basis. Not much more is needed to get going, but there is a glossary and a list of useful links for those who want to learn more. I don't get paid for reviews, and I absolutely got my money's worth in this great little starter book. Highly recommended!

This book is enlightening about spirituality and gives food for thought. Anyone looking for clarity and a bit of absolution should read this book. The way Buddhism is explained in this book, the way it talks about karma, bliss, understanding life by differentiating our senses from ourselves, increasing awareness through mindfulness etc. It's all so enlightening. It didn't even cross my mind that we've been sleeping from birth because we disconnect from the universe when we enter our mortal bodies, and we wake up when we die and live them. But logic and practicalness of an open mind would wonder; is there magic in our spiritual being? If so, how come we can't access it as normal human beings. Maybe it's true that we sleep when we're born and we wake up when we transcend into the spiritual world. Just try reading it to know what I mean. I would highly recommend giving this book a good read for thought stimulation.

This book is so relaxing. I have been interested in learning more about Buddhism so I grab this book. Some Buddhism books I’ve read are just focused on the Buddhism founded by Siddharta Gautama. However, in this book I have learned about the different kinds of Buddhism as practiced in different countries like Japan and China. Like what this book had mentioned Buddhism is not a religion but rather a way of life. I think what I like most about this book is that it’s very concise. It gives you a brief tour on the teachings of Buddhism like: Karma, Nirvana, The Five Delusions, and my favorite Mindfulness. Although this book doesn’t contain the full teachings of Buddhism, it will definitely give you an idea on what Buddhism is. Good enough for me.

Awesome book! I have heard a lot about Buddhism but I never got the deeper meaning of Buddhism so I took time to read this book. Every books central view is inner peace.This book is a complete guide for Buddhism, as it teach you everything you want to know about this religious believe. The author of this book did a good job, and gathered the good stuff.I got acquainted with the basic concepts and things,became gradually changed my life and relationships with others. I had a great time reading it. Recommened!

Seems like someone printed this themselves... still good context, certain things misspelled.
