This is one of the most boring books I have ever read. Although the information they're trying to cover about Buddhism is complicated they seem to make it even more complicated. The book doesn't give you very many historical facts and relies allegorical stories about a hypothetical life. This is tiresome and pointless as being lectured in a classroom in 3rd grade about the importance of being kind to your neighbor. You won't learn very much about Buddhism here you might wanna try Wikipedia instead well you'll get a much better picture. ( )

I love this series.

Buddhism is a belief system that fascinates me but, upon which, I had no real understanding. This book is a great entry point. It takes one from a complete outsider to a point at which one is able to make reasoned decisions about, in this case, Buddhism.

The second value of this book is that it is not just a single read, it becomes a reference work to which one may return regularly. It is set out in such a way that it is simple to find a specific idea which one may wish to re-examine. ( )

> Jonathan Landaw et Stephan Bodian, Le bouddhisme pour les nuls - First Editions 2003 - 22,90 € - 400 pages

Buddhism for Dummies by Johnathan Landaw and Stephan Bodian is a rather comprehensive manual. It covers the following - Part 1: Introducing Buddhism, Part 2: Buddhism Past and Present, Part 3: Buddhism in Practice, Part 4: Travelling the Buddhist Path, Part 5: The Part of Tens, and Part 6: Appendixes. And in the conclusion of the text is an Index.
The book presents readers with an understanding of Buddhism. It covers Buddhism’s main themes and currents without a lot of technical jargon. Where technical jargon is used it’s succinctly explained, and there’s a glossary for the reader to refresh his mind. A purely theoretical approach to Buddha’s teachings is avoided, but many of his insights could be applied to the lives people live today. Personal names are cited from the ancient Indian languages of Pali and Sanskrit in which the Buddhist Scripture was first written. These spellings are simplified whenever possible. Included are different Buddhist traditions and schools as Buddhism moved to other Asian countries. All icons used in the book are explained in the introductory pages. A reader will find the material in the book informative and enjoyable. ( )

This offers a lot of good info on the history of Buddhism and the basics of how it's practiced in the modern world... but I don't believe it gives a good explanation of the differences between each type of practice. For example, they make Zen sound amazing and care-free, while making Theravada sound like the crazy bow-20x-a-day snob-kind of Buddhism, which is not the picture I got at all from other books and podcasts I've read. It would have been much better if they had given a broader explanation of each, both in modern "householder" practice as well as monastic. But generally this is a good read to brush up on Buddhism facts & history. ( )
