These changes are aimed at creating awareness, wisdom, and kindness within in order to reach spiritual enlightenment.

A beginners guide to switching to a most peaceful way of living this stressful life. Aside from the historical facts, which were quite illuminative for me, you will learn just enough about various schools, "treasures" (in which you can take refuge in order to formally accept a certain practice of Buddhism) and "poisons" of Buddhism, as well as precepts (that are similar to 10 commandments) that you have to obtain and live by in order to set yourself on a way towards reaching Nirvana and more. You will also find some info about the way you can practice meditation in order to reach the condition of ultimate calmness. I'm excited that I'm gonna put myself on this very long trip that will, hopefully, bring more peace and joy to my life. Maybe it could help you too, give it a shot. - Jonah Smith This book is written in a very simple way that can be understood by anyone! I previously read a book about Buddhism and comparing them, I find this book very easy to read and understand with the terminologies explained well. I have been thought in school that this kind of religion is one of the oldest but I just found out today that this religion has three poisons which are greed, hatred, and ignorance . These are forms of evil that followers should avoid. The author seems to fully understand the nature and character of Buddhism. - Elaine Johnson Take action and download this book today for only $2.99! REGULARLY PRICED AT $4.

Poorly written, full of grammatical errors and mistranslations (the eight rights are not rights to something, they are the right ways of something!), nevertheless it does explain the basic tenets of Buddhism to someone who has never heard of it. However, Wikipedia is probably better and more grammatically correct.
