`	Tim River , August 18, 2019 This thin book worth every page. Helpful guide. A great intro or reminder of key ideas and application of. Each chapter broef and pithy but not too academic or cumbersome. Great for someone thinking of starting or reviving Buddhist-oriented meditation and in search of healing.

`	Tracy Dihle , August 04, 2012 (view all comments by Tracy Dihle) Wonderful, accessible teaching book. Terrific to have on the bedside table to read just before bed and let the information stew overnight!

`	Pamela , June 12, 2006 What a wonderful introduction to Buddhist principles. Eastern thought put into terms we westerners can relate to. Not watering it down at all but helping us to find the path of compassion for ourselves and others.
