Had to find a bite size book on the basics of Buddhism, but I think Santina did it well in 135 pages!

Too plain of an attempt. This is more like a collection of lecture notes, than a book. And, in my opinion, the wording, the descriptions and the author's approach, are not bound to offer any solid basis for studying/practicing Buddhism in any sense.

[Yatharth Bhasin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a compilation of a series of lectures given by the author. This book covers the basic concepts of Buddhism, lecture by lecture and by using common analogies. The author frequently quotes Buddha and his disciples and also expresses his opinions on the matter. The book only covers very simple concepts but surely does encourage the reader to explore Buddhism further.

Enlightening.
