“A beacon light of clarity and wisdom, a sobering teacher for us all. Simple and outstanding. Highly recommended.” --Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday Zen

“This is. . . . about awareness. Not awareness of something in particular, but awareness itself' being awake, alert, in touch with what is actually happening. It's about examining and exploring the most basic questions of life. It's about relying on the immediate experience of this present moment. It's about freedom of mind.” --Steve Hagen

The observations and insights of the Buddha are practical and eminently down-to-earth, dealing exclusively with awareness in the here and now. Buddhism Plain and Simple offers listeners these fundamental teachings, stripped of the cultural trappings that have accumulated around Buddhism over the past twenty-five centuries. The newcomer will be inspired by the clear, simple principles found in Buddhism Plain and Simple, and those familiar with Buddhism will welcome this long-needed overview.

“Buddhism Plain & Simple is a delightfully direct pathway toward our true heart.” --Steven Levine, author of Who Dies?
