No fault with the original text, just the translation.
In contrast with some of the free translations found online, this book's translation was somewhat odd. Certain Chinese words cannot be translated into English, or have different meanings depending on how you read it. Thus certain sentences could be translated differently. The free online translations acknowledged this problem and provided explanations to why such a word or a sentence was translated; this is missing in this book. As an example, the book uses the phrase "the nobler type of a man", while other translations refer to the concept of "nobler" as the "Tao". The other translations provide justifications for the translation, while this book does not.
The Layman's Review
Before purchasing this book, one needs to ask themselves why they want it. If you are purchasing this book to perform a comparitive review on the contextual issues involved with the translation of ancient Chinese for the modern scholar, you will likely be disappointed.

A Real Classic
The Abhidharmakosa is undoubtedly the most widely studied textbook of Buddhism. It forms one of the five basic textbooks of the Tibetan monastic curriculum, and in Japan it is the traditional way to begin the study of Buddhist philosophy. But it is by no means an easy or simple book. Years are devoted to its study in these countries. Carefully rendered, well presented, immensely important.

"The Way that can be spoken of is not the constant Way..."
TAO TE CHING is ascribed to Lao-Tzu ("The Old Boy"), an approximate contemporary of Confucius, who when asked to summarize his own philosophy, produced this incredible little volume before vanishing into the trackless wastes of central Asia. Long considered by Westerners to be the very essence of Oriental inscrutability, TAO TE CHING attempts to quantify the immeasurable and speak the ineffable. The Old Boy is far less opaque than he is accused of being; it is simply that human language is too limited to concretize the ideas of TAO TE CHING. Many people have attempted to describe the Tao (pronounced "Dow" or "Taw" depending on the local dialect). No one has yet succeeded. The mere act of description is a delimitation. Conceptually linked to flowing water or a candle flame, Tao is the natural order of things (but even that fails to suffice). The Tao, like Quantum Physics, must be grasped intuitively.
One of the possible alternatives to a religion.
Tao Te Ching is not only a philosophical outlook on life, it is also a religious philosophy. Written around 4th and 5th centuries BCE, Tao Te Ching gives us the glimpse of the ancient non-Western philosophy, with D.C. Lau's in-depth introduction, it is a very inspiring and eye-opening read. The translation captures the essence of the work and gives the reader the ability to truly appreciate it. One of the main topics of the Tao Te Ching is the idea of non-action. "One who knows does not speak; one who speaks does not know", it is kind of an intellectual trap trying to write this review with the Tao philosophy in mind. If you know then do not teach, if you are ruler then rule as less as possible, if you are warrior then do not fight, etc. These examples are all representatives of non-action attitudes presented in Tao Te Ching. The best way to appreciate this work is to stop reading this review and purchase the book and be amazed.

Great Translation (uncertain about author's introduction though)
I'm not into Eastern philosophy to the point where I take visits to Buddhist temples and practice meditation on a daily basis. However, being a Westerner, I do believe Eastern philosophy is very interesting, intriguing, and very applicable to aspects of everyday life, especially in the life of us "hustle-n-bustle," constantly-on-the-go Westerners. A lot of Eastern philosophy just makes sense, as much as it is common sense.

An absolutely great dialogue on the nature of things
This book is a record of a meeting of two men. Each chose a different path on the same quest - understanding the nature of things. One is an astrophysicist, the other is a monk. They present methods, discoveries and beliefs of both paths - and find them closer than they thought. Their dialogue is enriching and informative.
Trinh Xuan Thuan failed evil test
Prf. Trinh Xuan Thuan did not believe in Buddhism because it is THE truth. He knew the only cosmological model that fits Buddhist cosmology is the oscilatory model (Big Bang, Big Crunch, Big Bang, Big Crunch, ...) but this model is scientifically NOT proven.

I cherish this book
I do not have an elaborate in-depth comparison of this work to other Tao Teh Ching translations.I merely have my own perspective with this one.
ok conditions
the book was in ok conditions, i have bought used books in better conditions, but i can't really complaint because is good enough to read it just fine.

It takes time
The Hua Hu Ching portion of the book is self explanatory.The Tao Teh Ching can be read and applied at any level.If you are truly looking for some assistance then I recommend 8000 Years of Wisdom, books 1 and 2, by Master Ni.Each chapter of the Tao Teh Ching is read and then expanded upon by Master Ni, with questions from students.Some people will like this and some will not.What is important, is to find what works for YOU and aligns with YOU. ...

Tibetan Book of the Dead
The description of this book made it sound easy enough for a total novice to read. Turns out it's a lot more academic than I expected. That's not a bad thing -- it's just taking more time and effort than anticipated. If you're game for a real test of your determination to know more about this Buddhist stuff, go ahead and get it.

Robert Thurman's supplements here are worth much more than his translation
This was the first edition of the Bardo Thodrol I ever read.I had been a practicing Buddhist for about a year, but still could not understand, or really accept the idea of transmigration, i.e., a cycle of births and rebirths.It was this book that shattered my doubts, and to this day, it remains the most vivid discussion of the nature of life and death I have ever read.Yet it was not the translation that had the effect.It was the vast supplementary material supplied by Robert Thurman.The introductory essays concerning Tibetan Buddhism, living and dying in Tibetan and modern traditions, and the nature of death, are in fact worth much more than his translation.In trying render the Bardo Thodrol, an esoteric teaching of an esoteric religion, useful to all readers, Thurman sacrifices much of the intrinsic beauty of the text.He replaces words such as karma with evolution, Dharmakaya with Truth-body, and, following the tradition of Burton Watson, goes on to translate the names of various good and bad deities in a literal, clumsy translation.It was a nice effort, but ultimately, this text is made useful by Thurman's supplements, not his translation.For this, the Evans-Wentz version is still the standard.Yet, for a Buddhist who doesn't understand the cycle of birth and death, this is a great explanation.

Thurman brings clarity of mind to this translation
The introduction provided by Robert Thurman provides valuable context for understanding The Book of Natural Liberation Through Understanding In the Between.Thurman is able to reach out to non-believers by calmly explaining that Tibetan Buddhism is not about belief and dogmatism, but understanding experience more fully.He likens the monks who obtained the knowledge found in the book to spiritual scientists--an oxymoron until one understands the pragmatic value of this book.Use of this book to greater good is not dependent on the particulars of one's personal religious faith or lack thereof.The author helpfully reminds us that according to the tenets of our our scientific laws energy is neither created nor destroyed.Thus it seems likely that our whole being or part of it at least will end up going somewhere, in some form after we die. The introduction and translation are valuable tools for people who want greater understanding or for those who wish to use this book for its intended purpose. ... Read more

Excellent
I read through this book once, then I read through it notating specific anecdotes that stood out to me and ended up marking about half the book. There is a ton of wisdom and insight into not just the Samurai way of life, but the way people - particularly men - have changed (mostly for the worse) over time. This book is not about how to fight, or even being a samurai so much as it is about spirit, and courage in the face of life as well as death. There is an occasional absurd anecdote, but 99% of this book is insightful to this day. Above all, this book is about being a man of principle, courage, and usefulness.

everyone should read this book
if you can't finish reading this book, then you are useless. if you don't like it after you've finished it then you are a useless fool. if you don't understand it, then you are a cowardly useless fool

Ignore the cheesy title...
If one had to choose a single text to be stranded on an island with, then you could find no better work than this. The more I read this book the higher up my 'ranking' it goes, to the point where it has toppled Mencius:Mencius (D.C.Lau translation) of the top spot and pushed Confucius:The Analects (D.C.Lau translation) into third place. Congratulations HA GA KU RE!

Look no further!
If you are ready, this book is all you'll ever need.If not, it will certainly plant the seeds of awakening.Regardless, it is an absolute treasure.

Fierce Grace!
Do not let size of this tiny 114 page fool you! It is a Powerhouse of Truth. Although Maharaj continued teaching until the time he mademade his Mahasamadhi and dropping the body, these are his last recorded teachings in book form and edited by his devoted disciple, Jean Dunn.From May 1, 1980 to June 30,1981, Sri Nisargadatta gave some of his most potent teachings driving the point home we are the Absolute, not the I Am Consciousness nor the "food body" as he referred to the mindbody apparatus. These teachings were meant for those students that had done their "homework".He no longer had any patience for casual seekers. Had I not read and absorbed his masterpiece, "I AM THAT" and in turn been absorbed by THAT, I do not feel this book would have had the impact it did. The Truth in this small book can tear apart any concept you may have ever entertained about "reality" or yourself. In the absence of concepts and body identification what is left? The importance of becoming fully stablized in one's I AM Consciousness or "I AM-ness" can not be overstated. It must be fully absorbed through deep abidance before it can be transcended and the Ultimate Reality, the Absolute, be fully known free of identification with either the mindbody organism or the I AM awareness arising out of the "food body". At this point subject and object fully merge into One and there remains simply radical Subjectivity. No self, No mind, No thing. Consciousness without an object beyond the beyond. This is the Essence of Maharaj's teaching.As a pointer to that Supreme Reality beyond words, beyond thoughts, beyond Form, it is unsurpassed. Truly a Transmission of Maharaj's Grace and Awakened Mind! OM Namah Shivaya!

The Final Teaching
If the choice will be given to me, to give up all books except one, Consciousness and the Absolute will be choosen without eyewink.

Fantastic
I really enjoyed this book at various levels. First of all, as an intellectual exchange of views between father and son, both of whom are obviously very knowledgeable in their fields of expertise. Most of the conversations between them took place in Nepal, and some in northern France. Secondly, I enjoyed it as a means to elucidate some points of Buddhist epistemology and metaphysics. Matthieu did a very good job as a spokesperson for Tibetan Buddhism. Thirdly, I enjoyed it because of what it made me aware of: views like those of Revel, an atheist and skeptical philosopher who stands in the ethical traditions of both Epicureism and Stoicism, are not enough to satisfy my spirit's quest for a comprehensive and organic view of life, since they are issued from a merely philosophical and scientist perspective.
Intelligent and insightful
As some others have said, I have dipped my toes into Buddhism here and there and can say quite frankly that this is the first book that I thought really helped me to understand and visualize this religion/living system without getting too abstract immediately, or without being over simplified and childish.I truly felt that the dialogue challenged my understanding of Buddhism yet helped me get my grounding so that I can begin a deeper and wiser exploration.The usage of metaphoric and poetic language on the part of Matthiew was helpful for me to begin visualizing the ideals of Buddhism, and having Jacques play devil's advocate ensured that it was a healthy and balanced discussion that I truly got caught up in.It's an insightful conversation that makes you feel you are almost the third at the table and I look forward to revisiting this discussion often.

Not really a dialog; more of an introduction to Buddhism
As many reviewers have explained, this book is the transcript of a long series of discussions between French philosopher Jean-Francois Revel and his son Matthieu Ricard, a Tibetan Buddhist monk.

"We're All Doing Time" isIndescribablygood
I thought that this book would be interesting and informative, but was was much better than I expected. It not only answered all of my questions and gave wonderfully clear instructions for the practices, but I actually had several "Ah Ha!" moments while reading it. I rate this book as one of the most important books that I have read in years.

The letters are the best part.
I saw a t.v show on the prison ashram project and decided to check out one of bo's books.The first 2 chapters are very short but full of great information even though they are your run of the mill dime store wisdom found in many places.If you're just getting started then you really don't need any further teachings other than what is here.If you've been goofing around for a while then the third chapter is just great for the questions and answers and honest dialog.There isn't any preaching ... just simple, to the point answers to many questions that plague the average meditator.A great book, thoughtful read and a happy purchase.

A singularly profound spiritual testimony
Bo Lozoff is the director of the "Human Kindess Foundation" and his writings, workships, and tapes have helped countless numbers of men and women to deal with the limiting effects of selfishness, fear, anger, and addiction --as well as incarceration where the barriers are ones of cold steel bars and high cement walls. He has now distilled his observations and insights in We're All Doing Time: A Guide For Getting Free, with a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We're All Doing Time spells out the philosophy of the Prison-Ashram Project, which strives to give spiritual community and help, without mandating specific religious dogma, to those suffering in prisons. Others work to reform prison systems, and the author commends them highly; but until great changes can be wrought for the better, the philosophies in We're All Doing Time are meant to make prison physical and spiritual life more bearable. Black-and-white photographs and true stories of individuals and inmates searching for peace and meaning in their lives make We're All Doing Time a singularly profound spiritual testimony.

A completely original thinker
This was Watts' last book and the one many consider his finest. Written beautifully and eloquently, it is a work of both scholarship and poetry. The depth of clarity in spiritual wisdom is remarkable.

Taoism: A Way of Freedom.
"Tao: The Watercourse Way" is the last book written by Alan Watts. It was one of his best. Though it is specifically about Contemplative Taoism it contains a distillation of wisdom garnered from a lifetime of learning about the nature of reality from many different traditions. Wisdom has no boundaries. This book deserves a place in the smallest of personal libraries. The Tao is the fundamental first-cause behind all of the ways of the Chineese masters of old. The Way of ways, the pathless path, the watercourse way. The Tao is like a river, a river of nonduality. A great river banked by duality, yin and yang. Watts states that Taoism is neither a religion nor a philosophy though it has aspects of both. Taoism is about living a balanced life. Even Confucianism has an element of Taoism about it so fundamental is the way of the Tao to the Chineese. Taoism is a way of life that may appeal to you if you are tired of vacillating between such vexing polarites as absolute doubt and absolute certainty. The Watercourse Way is a way of moderation in all things. A way of life that goes with the flow of natural and supernatural forces. The Way of Wisdom. Watts was my kind of Taoist.
Wrapping it up.
I picked up this book because as I was explaining my beliefs as far the human spirit is concerned he suggested that I might be a Taoist.I had a lot to learn from this book and took a lot away.It describes beliefs in simple terms, but still providing me with great insite into the lives of taoists through folk stories.I would recommend this book to anyone who is exploring themselves as it could open up, or shut doors you are standing behind.Also anyone who has an interest in taoism, and eastern folklore. ...

If Religion Is the Opiate Of The People, This Is China White!
But you might want to smoke some really nice weed when you read The Flower Ornament Scripture, simply because it is, as alluded to by a few reviewers, a hypnotic text that is quite unlike anything that has been published or is likely to get published in the near future.This is really the closest you can get to a sort of real-life Harry Potter book of magic... there's something almost menacing about it's frontpiece, jeeze, 1643 pages, I suppose that's menacing enough, but... not to sound too Jungian, TFOS is actually trans-Tantra, that is, the sort of wierd metabolic changes you experience in Tibetian Buddhism can be gotten fairly quickly by reading a few pages of the Hua Yen bible.So as to make the trip nice and scholarly, research "holographic universe" andthe Net Of Indra, the latter being a "famous" device used to teach the gist of Hua Yen, which is, in a nutshell, the infinitude of multidimensionality.Party on!

Wow!
This is one of my favorite books of all time. Show it to your friends who think the New Testament is something special.

not for the beginner
They say this is a great book.That's probably true for some but I have most of Dr. Cleary's books; read them many times, benefited immensely, but this book is not easily comprehensible to me and I would think to any casual reader.As in his other books there is no real and ready quick tips for handling everyday life.So, unless you are well versed in Buddhist scripture save your money and apply yourself to the dharma as taught in simpler texts. ...

You haveto get no other books at all
If someones fatigued by endless buddhists-friends-philosophical-discussion want instead rapidly to proceed to Dzogchen (Preliminaries of it) practice, they need only one book and this is it.
perfect for anyone wanting insight to Tibetan Buddhism
Great to teach about Tibetan Buddhism.A great starting point.

Inspiring, and Informative
This book is a must read for all Tibetan Buddhists.I am only half way through chapter 2, but from these two chapters I can tell you that Patrul Rinpoche goes into great detail on all topics he covers.Warning: this book is not intended for beginners, it could be overwhelming for the un-initiated.I highly recommend getting the guide to this book, although the word "guide" is a little misleading, it is more of a complimentary book.

Kama Sutra by a Controversial Figure
I am not at all sure what readers are expecting from a thousand-year-old document like the Kama Sutra with such remarks below calling the work "outdated" or asking for an edition replete with erotic art. Fundamentally, "Kama Sutra" is a historical document. This is not a mere catalogue of sexual positions. It is a survey of sexual behavior in the region now known as India. It is the product of an India in which sex was as much a part of spirituality as yoga or meditation. When Vatsyayana composed his work, he was speaking within the context of a society that held notions about sexuality that may seem foreign, bestial, mysogynistic, sadistic, and bizarre to us with our modern conceptions. All of this is manifest in this work, and thus we must view it in such a context.
Unsound
This is an unsound work like other Indology texts of Wendy's, as has been shown by Michael Witzel.

Fundaments of Semde
The book was an excellent introduction to a fundamental tantra of Semde.I wish the entire tantra was translated here, but what is included advanced my understanding.
End in and of itself
This book is a reward for many long years of philosophical/spiritual searching. The translation work put into this is a most significant achievement.The work displaces so much else in my library with regard to its area of knowledge/wisdom. I feel like having "arrived" after having read it.

A lucid gem of a book
This is one of the best Non-dual books that I have ever read.Much of original Buddha-ism is obscured in the diversity of Tibetan teachings.This book focuses only on the highest realization and clearly shows why other practices are lesser vehicles.This book is a gem intended only for the student of high awareness.The majority of students should stick to the yoga and tantra texts, to avoid getting lost and confused by the direct-nature of these teachings.But then again, if you are willing to surrender your beliefs of what is high and good and get to the Truth, this book may be exactly what you need.enJOY!!! ...

Sun-Tzu: The Art of War (Classics of Ancient China)
This is an excellent translation of the various known texts including some of the more recent archaeological finds.Ames' preface also provides a valuable context for the writings - historical, cultural and philosophical.His insights into the Chinese culture, both past and present, prepares the reader well for the subsequent translations.The distinctions between western modes of thought, with their deep divisions between the physical and spiritual, are contrasted with the Chinese philosophy of continuous change within all extant things.For them there is no dichotomy - everything is defined by their roles and the ability to understand reality and truth as it is.Also, while I cannot read Chinese, it was cool to have the original writings provided for all the translations.Even if you've read the translations before, this book provides an excellent update to a literary/philosophical classic.

Sun-Tzu: The Art of War, edited by Roger T. Ames
This is the translated version that also includes the original Chinese text. Hence for the reader who can read traditional classic Chinese, one can truly appreciate what Sun-Tzu had achieved. His work is a masterpiece of scholarly literature as well as a demonstration of his military geniusness and insight.
Book review
I have not read other translations of Sun Tzu's "The Art of Warfare,"...in fact, I have not read anything by Sun Tzu.Thus, I had a huge sense of anticipation as I embarked on the legendary text. Yet, I must confess that I was also not expecting much, given that this was a translation.

The best guide on the subject I know
This is the best guide on ' Jewish Death and Mourning' I know. It is clearly written. It presents the Halachic aspects of the process in a good way. It shows sympathy and understanding. It will answer most if not all of the procedural questions the person has who is in the process of mourning.
Moving and thoughtful
My father had just died and I was given this book by his synagogue. As I spent the week sitting shivah with my family I read through it. It was comforting, informative and very very helpful. I think it would be helpful not only to Jewish mourners but to anyone who has lost a loved one.

Indispensable (unfortunately)
I turned to this book when my father died.I found it to be a comprehensive and indispensable guide.I still take it with me whenever I visit the cemetary so that I can use its text for graveside prayers. ... Read more
