| 1. |  | Emptiness Dancing
from Sounds True, Incorporated
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
Western authors like to churn out books after expensive books. The audio CD by Adyashanti is almost $50.00! It makes me wonder if these authors really have achieved enlightenment or is this another money making gimmick. I don't see much difference between Adyashanti and John Wheeler's writings or... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Dharma Punx
from HarperOne
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I recently finished Dharma Punx, and, although I was a little disappointed, I think my disappointment sprang from the fact that this book is a memoir, not a more educational approach. I realize this fact is clearly stated on the front cover, but I didn't realize it until I was about 70 pages in.more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from New World Library
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I started reading this book with a strong dose of skepticism as to Brad Warner's understanding of Zen and Buddhism, and I came away impressed and a little wiser. Brad, despite the rebellious, punk persona he likes to wear about himself, is a serious student of Zen, and knows his stuff well. My own... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I highly recommend reading this book to anyone and everyone. The teachings of Ajahn Chah are so simple and direct.

While reading there where many times when I was genuinley inspired to practice the... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Tharpa Publications
Customer Review:
This deceptively small book packs an awsome punch because not a single word or phrase is redundant or wasted. This book delves quite deeply into the life of Buddha and his core teachins so that even after multiple readings I feel I still have more to learn from this one book.
