Book Reviews of Buddha's Little Instruction Book

Book Review: being and practicing to be a buddhist...
Summary: 5 Stars

is far more complicated then any books ever written and yet so simple that in any hours, any minutes, or any seconds of the day that a non-buddhist and a buddhist his/herself can act and accomplished. this book is a first step to regconize the great inner self.

Enlightment/Awaken is like the switch, you can turn it on or you can turn it off...it's your choice, you only need to seek guidance, because enlightment/being awaken already in you.

This little book helps you reflect on your daily life...with lines of instruction to constantly reminds you to take one day of a time, to live one day at a time, to be in the moment...and just "breathe"...just let go of the past and the future, "when you walk just walk, when you eat just eat" ...being here and now is the core of existence, core of happiness. this book helps you to balance your life, clear and focus on your inner peace and let go of the material world which will become dull and bore ...just let go of the hate and pain that you so treasure and harbor all these times and feel the devines that's always there: the sun, the wind...the now. and when you're at "the now" you have to be with compassion. the last couple of pages of the book are the meditation practices to help practicing the "letting go..." of the hurt/pain/suffers and being peace and content with oneself.

i love this book. i have this book since i was 13 and it's been 11 years and i'm still holding on to it. i just reordered the book because mine is falling apart into individual pages. it's a great book. Being a Buddhist all my life and being a student of Buddha, I too sometimes forget of being "here and now and not letting go" but this little book helps so much through difficult times. and constainly reminds me that: yes, like a lamp, I can choose to switch my enlightment on or off, being awaken or being blind/asleep; this book is a great guidance bceause it's a constant reminder that i don't have to seek enlightment/being awaken...it's already in me!

Buddhism is not about life is suffering but about identify your suffers and letting it go/ending it...Buddhism is about practicing the compassion and love for yourself and other at the here and now...and by being here and now, it means:

"Breathe, my dear"--(Thich Nhat Hanh)
