Have you ever heard about Buddhism? Yes, you probably have. Maybe you have formed a vague idea of what it represents in your mind, or even more, maybe you're even a "practitioner", and try to apply Buddha's teachings in your every day life. You see, in life we are ALL in the same game, and yet most poeple don't realize it. Most people don't even take the time to think HOW they can improve their existence. Most people don't even know what "living in the present" is. That's precisely why a large majority of the world's population so desperately need Buddhism. They aren't living, they are surviving, transiting lives filled with hate and pain. And so I did, back before I was introduced to Buddha's lessons. It took me time to learn those lessons. It took me a lot of time and effort to incorporate the secrets that would ultimately shape my entire life! And now, I'm willing to share those secrets with you.
I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to show you HOW you can improve your life by applying Buddha's lessons. I wrote it to show you how you can set apart from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about both you and me are alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch with Buddhism, or even if you have already done that and are actually USING it to your advantage, I know you don't settle for average. I know you want something better. You won't stop until you fully enjoy your life. Until you fully grasp the path of simplicity, calmness, and inner peace. You won't stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That's precisely what we will go for on this book!
Hey, I'm not saying you should shave your head and climb up to a mountain to become a monk. You don't have to do that, trust me. My approach to Buddhism is different. I'm a modern guy. I'm aware of the world we live in, and I don't want to turn things upside down, and I guess neither do you. So, don't worry! I've got you covered. We'll go through Buddha's teachings and we will APPLY them into our daily modern lives. Because that's what's all about, isn't it? It's about improving our lives. Improving our focus. Improving our happiness. Finding our way to inner peace. Wow, I'm so glad to be here to share this amazing journey with you!
My goal is simple. I will help you incorporate Buddhism into your life. I will help you simplify your thoughts, adopting Zen as a way of being, and not just doing. Sounds too difficult? It's not. I will show you how. I will take you through a step by step guide where you simply can't get lost! Together, we will go to the roots of Buddhism, Mindfulness & Meditation and transform that knowledge into an incredibly journey that will forever change the way you approach life. So let's go for it!

Desde o final do ano passado eu venho procurando entender um pouco melhor o budismo e o que ele significa. E existem diversos portais budistas online que fornecem milhares bytes de informações, mas eu precisava de um livro com começo meio e fim, para tentar ordenar esse aprendizado, porque era tanto material que eu não fazia ideia de por onde começar.
O budismo é considerado tanto uma filosofia como uma religião não teísta, ou seja, sem a existência de um deus. "Mas e Buddha?" Buddha não é um Deus. Buddha é, digamos, o guardião do conhecimento. Diz a narrativa convencional que Buddha era um príncipe que, aos 29 anos, começou a sair do palácio diversas vezes e, com isso, tomou conhecimento sobre o sofrimento das pessoas comuns. Concentrando-se na meditação, Sidarta descobriu o que hoje é chamado de "caminho do meio", que é o equilíbrio entre o apego e a negação.
"A lenda diz que Sidarta conheceu a dúvida sobre o sucesso de seus objetivos ao ser confrontado por um demônio chamado Mara, que simboliza o mundo das aparências, a tentação, comparado ao papel da Satanás no cristianismo, muitas vezes representado por uma cobra naja. Mara teria oferecido todos os tipos de prazeres e tentações a Sidarta, que implacavelmente repeliu Mara. Vencido Mara, Sidarta acordou para a Verdade, a Verdade da origem, da cessação e do caminho que levava ao fim do sofrimento, e se iluminou. Assim, por volta dos quarenta anos, Sidarta se transformou no Buda, o Iluminado." (Wikipedia)
Comprei este ebook na Amazon porque queria algo barato e que me desse uma introdução mais didática do que o grande volume de informações que encontrei nos artigos "introdutórios" sobre o Budismo.
O livro é interessante, mas bem superficial. Ele se concentra bastante na meditação, explicando algumas técnicas e a lógica por trás da canalização de mente e espírito. O que é interessante se você quer aprender a meditar. A meditação é uma grande parte do budismo, mas eu esperava aprender sobre a essência e os ensinamentos budistas antes de ser introduzida a um intensivo sobre meditação.
Paguei 4 dólares, então não me decepcionei tanto, mas fiquei sentindo falta de explicações melhores sobre os "preceitos" do Budismo.
Recomendo para: Quem já tem algum conhecimento sobre o Buddismo, e quer saber mais sobre meditação.

Oh, I liked this book! Dominique Francon writes in a style that is witty, smart and one newbies to Buddhism can be comfortable with.
Her stated aim for this book is “to help you understand Buddhism from the ground-level, from a totally introductory standpoint, so that you can take from it what you’d like. This book isn't to convert you to any religion (everyone knows that, as far as conversions go, Buddhists are probably the least likely), but it instead aims to guide you towards understanding what had been the dominant eastern religion for over 2,000 years.”
This book will helpful to people from all religions, especially the very practical bits about meditation. She writes, in a typically Buddhist style, with a “friendly pen” toward other religions: “In the end, all any of these religions aim to do is give us hope. The main difference with Buddhism is that it aims to teach us to find hope from within ourselves, rather than seeking outside advice or saviors. It tells us that only we can help ourselves. It’s existentialist in that way, and shockingly modern.”
I had a good laugh where she writes about the first of the Four Noble Truths: “The first truth is that there is suffering in the world. We may know this phrase as, ‘Shit happens.’”

I really enjoyed this book. It gave me exactly what I was looking for in this type of book. I wanted information about Buddhism (on introductory level) and I wanted to know how I could incorporate some of the ideas into my daily life without being labeled Buddhist. The thought process and daily routine make this such a great way for anyone to put some calm into our hectic lives! The author did a great job explaining and giving examples simply and clearly. I would recommend this book for anyone just wanted to understand a different way of life.

Awful.
Please, if universally want to learn about Buddhism, avoid this book! The author makes several inaccurate statemients, such as "Buddhism is about self-importance." What?? I just can't put I to words how thoroughly disgusted I am with this book. Don't waste your time reading this drivel.

A decent primer
This was a good starting point, but I think it glossed over much of the history and beliefs, to focus on meditation.
