[Liam Littleton · Rating 2 out of 5]

A very short book, only about 100 pages. There is very little personality injected by the author so it's a dry read. The first half is a short history of the religion, the second half has some meditation exercises. The last 1/4 of the book is a list of resources for learning further.

Enjoyed this book - a very comprehensive intro to the subject.
