Review title: Buddhism Plain and Simple
Product review: By trying to make it simple the author ended by distort the content and make it painful to read. the author try desperately to sound knowledgeable but it sound more like it really did not get the fundamentals of Buddha's teaching. he preach instead of showing a way, enumerate instead showing a path. the book will bring only confusion to anybody rather than opening the mind. it is not a realization of our suffering but rather a mirror of Mr Hagen own distraction on believing or trying to be a zen master. Obviously having been allowed the title of teacher went straight to the head of the person but certainly did not enlighten him. well at least that what i felt and that is my own feeling. i would recommend to start with other reading materials.
