[John Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

How do you review a book like this? There are so many books on Buddhist practice, and so many ways to approach it. Whether one is "better" than another depends on whether it "speaks" to the reader...i.e. whether it helps the reader gain a better understanding of the path. This book speaks to me in a way that is clear and helpful.
