Title: A must for every Buddhist collection
Review: John Daido Loori just nails it. Without being dogmatic he lays out the essence of Buddhism in some of the clearest and precise language I have ever read, (and I've got a pretty good size library of books on Buddhism). For me it (finally) answers the question, "why bother with Buddhism?", which is expressed so well in the introduction: ". . . to live more fully in reality, and nourish one another with wisdom's complete confidence and compassion's tender and soothing hands."Be aware that's it not easy reading and may be a bit much as a beginning book on Buddhism. (Pramananda's books might be a better place to start). But don't give up on it. I'm on my third reading and it still feels like I'm just scratching the surface.
