Another work in progress
Another book I have yet to read but again have heard incredible reviews by close friends.Hoping to read within the next month or so and will provide a more detailed, accurate review.

Great for any relationship!
My fiance and I read this book together.We both enjoyed the style of writing and the "sense" it made of so many common mistakes and misunderstandings.It was not only useful for partner related relationships, but was also a great guide for all life relationships.Definitely enjoyable :-)

A great book
First, this book does in fact deal with the fact that Buddha (the man) had been married and so on, reviews stating that this book does not include factual information on this are wrong (maybe written by people who read an earlier version? or not at all?)

Five Star all the Way
"moon in a dewdrop" is a collection of writings by Eihei Dogen, the founder of Soto Zen. The text is divided into four sections, which are clear and easy to understand. There are notes and a glossary so that the meaning of the text can be clearly grasped. The book is a five star raft.
The Best Single Volume of Dogen's Writings
Eihei Dogen is without a doubt the greatest writer in Zen history.His masterwork, the Shobogenzo, represents one of the most comprehensive, fascinating, and valuable works of Buddhist literature.In Moon in a Dewdrop, Kazuaki Tanahashi has compiled the best single volume Dogen in the English language.This contains the best translations I have ever read of several of Dogen's seminal works - Genjo Koan, Uji, Yuibutsu Yobutsu, Sansuikyo, Zenki, and the Tenzo Kyokun.

Excellent Introduction To Dogen's Integral Thought
Dogen may very well be the most important master in all of Zen history, next to Shakyamuni of course. This particular book is a translation of portions derived from Dogen's masterwork, Shobogenzo. I would suggest purchasing with this "Enlightenment Unfolds: The essential teachings of Zen Master Dogen" by the same author, it's somewhat like a follow-up. Also beneficial readings come from many of the works out there from the late modern master Taizan Maezumi. This book offers clear translations ofsome of the most central aspects of Dogen's fascinating style of Zen (still one of the predominant schools to have survived to date). One of the previous reviewers mentioned this book's wonderful glossary of terms, to which I must agree; It's at once extensive and dense. If you are looking for a really accurate (as well as fairly easy to read) book on Dogen Zenji aside from the entire Shobogenzo itself, don't look any further. Your needs are all met right here. Enjoy! ... Read more

Anything by this author is good.
My daughter (2) is a little young for this book yet, but I read it and think it is wonderful for children. If you have children about 6 or older who are having a difficult time or are angry about something, this book would be great. Even if your children are happy though, there are wonderful lessons here for everyone and that can help the world to become a more peaceful place.

Very different
While many children's books deal with fiction this book speaks of the reality of here and now.It is thought provoking on a child's level teaching spirituality and awareness.My six year old seems to enjoy listening to the stories. ... Read more

Must read and practice
There are several aspects to becoming and great/profitable Hold Em player. Larry Phillips will give everything you need to know about two of these aspects in Zen and the Art of Poker. Learn patience. Learn controlled, focused aggression. Learn to win.

This Book has changed my life for the better.
I hadn't picked up a book in probably 5 or more years. I found Zen and The Art of Poker by chance. This book changed my style of play instantly. I couldn't help but relate the proverbs to my life which has also changed dramatically for the better, in various ways. This book has inspired me to live and love my life everyday. If you want to learn how to play patiently, powerfully, differently, or you simply want to add that extra advantage or foundation to your game... I highly recommend this book. If you have read every other poker book besides this book... I still highly recommend this book. It is a great addition to any style or way.

Graduating the Poker College
This along with David Apostolico's "Tournament Poker & the Art of War" is the Number 1 book that has totally transformed my game.I used to be a big Sklansky fan until I first found Apostolico's book.After reading that, I hit the delete button on 95% of the Sklansky material that I had memorized and I never looked back.

A pleasent surprise - we should all read this one
This isnt groundbreaking stuff but then there probably isnt anything left that's groundbreaking. But I was pleasently surprised by this little book. I read it in two nights, about used up a highlighter and the central premise is worth all of us trying. That is dont go for the 'hook' in life. When you find yourself angry, irritated or frustrated be quiet and look for the 'hook' what is it that has you acting that way. Not all that new an idea but presented in a simple, easy to understand way that is a message for all of us. In these times of war we need peace and it will always begin in our hearts. The 'hook' think about it next time.
A potentially life-changing book
I must respectfully disagree with the reviewer who said this book is only good if you are familiar with the author's other work. I was attracted to this book by the title as it was sitting and calling out to me on the new books table at my local bookstore. I looked at the back flap and recognized the author from an interview she did with Bill Moyers on his recent "Faith and Reason" series.
Don't Waste Your Time On This One
This book appears to have been thrown together hurriedly. Despite it's title ("Practicing Peace in Times of War"), very little within the book speaks to the world's current state of war.

The Simple Feeling of Being: Visionary, Spirtual, and Poetic Writings
An excellent introductory piece to Ken Wilber's Non-dualistic philosophy. Well edited and constructed, it gently, but firmly leads the reader into the depths of rigorous personal contemplation of "Who am I?".

Insightful
Ken's overview of very complex topics on the medation processes is rich with simple understanding and insight. A most valuable effort to continuing on a personal quest during meditation. Some times, the information collected from his other works is slightly distracting having been on a steady track of thought. In summary, however, his approach to the main topic is invaluable and well documented to the source writings.

If I do say so myself.
What an awful and pompous title for a book!Is a piece of writing visionary becuase the author (or publisher) says it is?And don't we normally call poetic writings (sic) poems?

Pleasant but not far reaching
I have been pursuing Buddhist literature for many years and I have to admit I was a little bit disappointed with this book from Lama Surya Das.Whilst I hold his other two in higher regard (Awakening the Buddha within, Awakening the Buddhist Heart), I thought this particular rendition was lacking in substance.The title was somewhat misleading.Whilst Surya Das does discuss one of the virtues of Buddhism (if I can call it that)of letting go, it is purely a description of anecdotes of people who haven't let go.Letting go is such a simple thing and yet is also one of the hardest. If you're looking for instructions as to how to achieve 'letting go', there isn't any here.Anecdotes don't stop there - there are sprinkled everywhere throughout this book.
Very well written book
Loved the book!Staight forward, easy to understand information.Very spiritual, not necessarily religious.This book made a lot of sense to me.Full of common-sense ideas and values.Will definitely read again.

Poetically Practical Presentation
This book is poetically succinct, practical, & sometimes poignant.It overstates the force of mindfulness (ignoring how priorities, values, karma affect situations) but packs a lot into 210 pp.Much is familiar to Buddhist practitioners, but is delightfully presented & well integrated-with morsels to enjoy for old-timers too.The author addresses both the positive & negative aspects of pain & suffering--p. xiii: "In life pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional...without the pain of inner irritation, the pearls of wisdom will not be produced within us...The Pearl Principle: no pain, no transformative gain."He emphasizes & provides a balanced approach to life's tribulations & changes-- pp. 34-5: "The teachings of the Buddha stress balance...Throughout his life, he taught his followers to value balance, restraint, & moderation.He called it the Middle Way: a path of harmonious, non-harming, moderation, virtue, & spiritual investigation-a practical application of the Golden Mean."Maintaining a Buddhist perspective, he gives supporting parallels from other traditions, East & West (e.g. p. 122: Philo-"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle").His approach is primarily psychological with some metaphysics as well-- pp. 43-4: "Loss & suffering can also bring faith.Suffering can be redemptive; it helps burn away superficiality & complacency" & p. 42: "For some of us, the most consistently troublesome thing about loss is the destruction of expectations."He presents practical advice--meditative techniques (e.g. chewing, walking & mindfulness meditations), Medicine Buddha practice (see Thrangu Rinpoche's Medicine Buddha Teachings 1559392169), & Chod.Some is quite touching-based on case histories--p. 47: Laura-"I once read that forgiveness means letting go of the hope for a better past" & his own experiences (e.g. with Suil) or quite profound--p. 83: "The 3rd Patriarch said long ago, `Do not seek for truth; merely cease to cherish opinions' & p. 86: "Nonattachment is the supreme spiritual discipline; non-clinging is the ultimate form of generosity."He addresses difficult topics such as Western romantic relationships in a practical, sensitive manner--p. 163: "We tend to transform our memories into the stuff of legend & myth" & p. 168: "Sometimes you have to keep the love in your heart, but let the object of your affection go."Self-change is the proper response to change itself because, p. 185: "One definition of insanity is doing what we have always done & expecting a different result."He gives a fine exposition on anger--p. 199: "There is wisdom to be found even in anger: with its sharp cutting edge, anger helps us to see what may be wrong.Strong emotions can raise our energy & our conscious awareness.We can direct these qualities into positive action.Anger always reminds us that something needs to change or at least be attended to, usually sooner than later...I see our difficult emotions as disruptive children.When they are acting up it is time to be there for them & with them."And, as with our children--p. 210: "Letting go is the ultimate act of generosity & faith."It's been said that we only truly keep what we give away. ...

Destructive Emotions
I thought this book might be more of a "how-to overcome" or "prevent" destructive emotions so I found the presentationto be a little disappointing. The format was an academic-type of discussion to prove the truths behind Buddism and it used a lot of scientific jargon.

Very important book
The only reason I didn't give this book five stars is because I did get an overall feeling of lack of cohesiveness. I suppose that this is a peril of the format, but nonetheless, I think that true cohesiveness could be reached in this format.
Interesting, but doesn't have the same impact as another format might
In general, I liked this book and found it useful.I thing it contains a lot of good concepts, but because of the dialogue format it is difficult to get one's arms around all the concepts.There are also some holes that are left unaddressed, again probably because of the format.

Superb translation; consider reading a chapter a day
-Here's another five-star vote for an excellent translation showing care and faithfulness. The Introduction is itself a wonderful introduction to Buddhist thought and concepts, and the footnotes and index are commendable. The author often advises the reader when some controversy exists in translation and how this was resolved. Reading such a fine translation can add tremendous depth to your practice, help refine your compassion and wisdom, and give you an irreplaceable understanding of Buddhism.
The Authority on Buddhism
I have spent this past summer studying at the monastery where Bhikkhu Bodhi resides.In my daily contact with him, listening to his lectures, and having one-on-one discussions about Buddhism, I must say that he is one of the most influential and authoritative figures on the Dharma.
How long are the long ones?
Don't be fooled by the name.The "Middle Length" discourses tally 1151 pages, plus more than 200 pages of notes.But if you want to understand the philosophical aspect of Indian Buddhism, this book is a must.Fortunately, each sutta (skt. sutra) is relatively short (thus the name "Middle-Length"), so you can read it casually over a longer period of time.The text is also dense, as anyone familiar with classical Indian texts is well aware.So there's a lot of opportunity to ponder what you've just read. ...

Dense and redundant, but quality
If you're looking to experience as close as possible what it was like to sit in the forest and listen to the Buddha's dharma talks, this will get you there.But did the Buddha really repeat himself so much?It's common to see passages repeated in Buddhist sutras, but boy these really take the cake.This is a huge, rich work, to be in my library for a lifetime.

Diligence pays off
It took me some time to understand the lay-out of the book (mainly because of the vast scope, the nature of oral transmission, and my unfamiliarity with Pali terminology) but it has been VERY worth while.There is much here for the serious Buddhist.Thank you to Bhikkhu Bodhi for taking on this massive translation.

An amazing achievement and a precious gift
I can only express my profound gratitude, joy, and wonder over Bhikku Bodhi's marvelous translation of "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha." What a treasure trove exists here! These texts will provide a lifetime of study, reflection, meditation, and guidance for all serious students of the Buddha's teachings. They are beautifully put together, thoroughly referenced and explicated, and translated with a great depth of understanding and obvious love. This book is not only a classic work of translation but also, for the serious practitioner, a priceless boon. To have access, in this day and age and in English, to the canonical literature that almost certainly most accurately reflects the actual words of the Buddha, and in such a beautiful and authortative version, is a great benefit. Many, many heartfelt thanks to Bhikku Bodhi and Wisdom Publications for this tremendous achievement ! ... Read more

best book for teaching children
This book is an excellent collection of wisdom even for non-buddhists.My children love the tales and the artwork; I love the meanings.

Wisdom for all ages
I've been reading this book to my small son, who seems to like the pictures now more than anything.I know all of the stories now and find myself reading them as life events take place.It's amazing how stories can make a point more than just description.This book does just that.

Water in the Jar
I bought this book thinking that it was one of those gifts that my son probably wouldn't like but that because it was a children's book I could get away with buying it indirectly for myself.Sort of a back-door self gift, at a time when I couldn't afford to buy myself something.Well, I was right about my liking it, but wrong about my son--he liked it too, and still does. We have read and re-read many of our favorite stories (I tend to get in reading grooves sometimes, like the period during which I couldn't read anything but stories from "Interpreter of Maladies").Read more

I like Takuan's Zen...
...I'd like to meet him.But not in a duel.The title of the book is appropriate.Do not park your mind.Zen is a no-parking zone.It is alright to park your tail on a cushion, though.To understand this book, you need to be a bit of a martial artist, and a bit of a zennist to begin with.Not for beginners, or for those who like their gruel thin.

the unfettered pickle
i know this is completely unhelpful and i'm going to be berated for this review, but i think it's funny. in japan there's a kind of pickle named after takuan.
Neither zen nor sword
I got interested in the book because of its references to swordsmanship and Buddhism, two seemingly incompatible subjects. I knew for a fact that the Japanese used Buddhism as a vehicle for training the warrior class, and learning that the book consisted of letters from a Zen monk to a swordsman, expected the book to contain reasons why Buddhism and swordsmanship were compatible.Read more

No god, no soul, but kharma
You need to enter that book slowly and then let it guide you at the pace that will be proper for you. It is long, complex and extremely profound. You may not understand the Pali text but you will understand the commentary and notes. There is, first of all, a vision of the world and of man in the world as a complete continuum of many parameters that create permanent change and movement. At each moment we lose something and we gain something else. At each moment we may grieve because of the loss, or rejoice because of the gain. Dukkha, the long process of change and decay that leads to death also contains the necessary forces and qualities that our mind can use to gain wisdom and clear knowledge at every moment of this road of decay. And that's the real challenge Buddhism contains. Every single person, if they want, can decide to use their minds to push away the negative parameters that lock them up in decay, and develop the positive parameters that lead them to realizing that all is change, all is dissatisfaction in a way or another, all is the absence of an eternal godlike soul in us. The only chance we have to evade this path that leads to death is to cultivate our mind and get on the path of mental liberation, of enlightenment, of sukha. The book contains beautiful pages that are ahead of their times on time, language, the � flippant � personality of a subject that is changing all the time and how he can try to control and dominate the change by preparing his escape from it. This is the paradox of the book . There is no escape from this slow movement towards death through the death of each instant and the birth of the next one. And yet there is a way to go beyond and reach nirvana, a pure mental existence completely oblivious of the world and the body. As it is so justly said in note 7 in chapter IX, this is a hypnotic circle. You are self-hypnotizing yourself into nirvanic bliss. And that should enable you to get free of all ties, fetters and other chains and become ready to serve the world and others in order to improve reality and make the decaying process less painful, free of violence and war, free of greed, free of alienation. The Buddha, the Blessed One, imagined a way to improve the world by improving human individuals. But hurry up because there is still a lot to do to ban violence, war, greed, alienation, ignorance and poverty from this world. You feel optimistic when you reach the last page.
All you ever wanted to learn about the Theravada Abhidhamma
I heard that this book is supposed to be an *introduction* to the Abhidhamma.I heard that in Burma, this text must be memorized before one will have the opportunity to study from the Abhidhamma masters.The original canonical Abhidhamma is supposed to go into thousands of pages, with the commentaries adding more pages.However, Acariya Anuruddha managed to squeeze practically ALL of the accumulated and developed Abhidhamma doctrine from the time of Emperor Asoka (3rd century BCE) to the 12th century CE (1500 years!) into about 50 pages!!! A great buy for meditators
Though the advice of Achaan Chah about studying one's own heart rather than Abhidhamma should be kept in mind like a shining star when tackling anything regarding it, still the reading of this book may provide a framework for one's own mind where to insert experiences: one in which conventional items may not be needed for their comprehension.Read more

Incredibly simpe yet powerful depiction on Zen.

The Drama of Practice
I have very mixed feelings about this book.It is the book which really brought me to spiritual practice; for that, I will always be grateful.It was, however, the same things about it which first drew me in, that I now find problematic.
One of the few authentic and unique books on Zen
Today it seems the west is in a big backwash of Zen related themes. The Zen of Gardening, the Zen of Grooming your Pet, the Zen of brushing your teeth etc. Most of these accounts are by people who wouldn't know Realization if it jumped up and bit them in the rumps. It's due to these circumstances that Philip Kapleau's account of Zen is truly refreshing.

Best book on the subject available
The title is not a put-down of books like "Rainbow of Liberated Energy" or "The Five Wisdom Energies".They do particular justice to the subject of the five 'elements'.The point that I want to make is that I liked this one best, not just because of the friendly and precise writing style, but because this one goes to the roots of the system - the primordial basis of Tibetan metaphysics.
5 Million Stars: Help to Heal Yourself with This Book
An INDESPENSIBLE, highly special resource for those interesting in: delving into the elements as a way to heal self and world, delving into different meditative practices, and deepening the ability to abide in a healing and balanced state of being. Most helpful to me has been the emphasis on the WHY of spiritual practice...i.e.,practice is only half complete if it is "me" centered. The teachings in this book are given with immeasurable clarity, light, and love. This teacher, this book, is a refuge, a light, and a blessing. May all beings benefit.

Good Introduction to Working with the Five Elements
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche has provided his western audience with a basic introduction to theory and practice regarding the Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra and Dzogchen.His exposition is lucid and interesting, and his view of the relationships between Shamanism, Tantra and Dzogchen is insightful.My only gripe is that I wanted more depth.I suppose I would have to become his student in order to gain access to the real treasure to which this book points. ...

Cuts to the core
The audiotape was a rare experience: the author's words and voice just cutting immediately to the core. Her thoughts, guidance and examples had a strong ring of truth.The tape seems enormously sincere and I have found it helpful and healing each time I heard it. A tape to play more than once.
Down home Buddhism
It's always a joy to hear Tara Brach's voice, and it comes through sweet and clear in her book.Buddhism and its literature can seem harsh sometimes, like running over jagged ice, as Philip Kapleau once put it.But the I.M.S. way, which Tara represents, is more like floating down a crystal clear stream.You'll only get bruised if you don't stay attentive, and even that's not a problem.

Demonstrates How Well These 3 Religions Can Interconnect
This book is an inspirational work taking a look at people who classify themselves as Christian or Jewish, but who commit themselves also to the teachings of the Buddha. When three traditions like this meet, it's like, as Jack Miles points out in the foreword, 3 drained travelers gathering at a resting spot discussing their journey. All three traditions are ancient, but spiritual practice is new and exciting for anyone who engages themselves in it's wonderful arms. All three paths take practice and dedication, not one of them we simply understand "right off the bat." This book truly is fascinating in it's representation of all three dominant world religions and how one can successfully utilize the very best of the teachings offered by them all. If you enjoyed "The Good Heart: A Buddhist Perspective on the teachings of Jesus" by H.H. the Dalai Lama, your sure to enjoy this book, likewise. So what are you waiting for? Buy it!

According to Eknath Easwaran, if all of the Buddhist sutras had been lost except the
