Customer Reviews

Enlightening, bright and fun!

This book was absorbing and easy to read, yet filled with gems of depth, humor and wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have tried some of the exercizes. This book transformed my life in so many positive ways. I'm grateful to have stumbled upon it. I highly recommend it to anyone who'se not afraid of light, truth and their own enlightenment!

This is the "real thing"

Fans of Surfing the Himalayas will love Snowboarding to Nirvana. Those who disagree with the alternative spirituality world view (once called New Age) in general will probably also disagree with this book. They may, however, recognize it as the real thing, the work of a key figure in the alternative spirituality tradition." - Dr. Massimo Introvigne Director CESNUR (Center for Studies on New Religions) Torino, Italy

The Inner Revolution Begins

This book is not about the adventures of the snowboarder. It's about me, the reader. Each time I pick it up, I can tell how much progress I'm making in my practice by seeing how many new wonders the pages open up for me. If there were no other books for me to read, that would be ok, because Snowboarding has enough to keep me busy for the rest of my lives. It is a work on par with the ancient classics, a gift from Lord Buddha himself!

Dont' read this book - it might change your life!!

Snowboarding to Nirvana is so exciting that I finished it in only 2 nights - I couldn't put it down. There are really cool spiritual lessons in this book that I will never forget. I've read plenty of books on Eastern philosophy and religion but this one is by far the most fun and inspiring. The meditation techniques explained in the book are great - they are easy to practice and they really work. My intuition is stronger, I feel I'm more energetic throughout the day, I'm happier and more optimistic, and negative feelings and anxieties don't stick around as much! On top of that, the book is full of many adventures and romantic encounters intertwined with some really cool tips on this awesome sport - snowboarding. After reading this book I had to give it a shot! For the women out there - you gotta try it! Read this book and get on the slopes. But beware - you'll get hooked!

Buddhist Revelations from the Snowboard...

Of course I was going to buy ths book! I read the first release, Surfing the Himalayas, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. The first book explained meditation and mindfulness in a more clear and entertaining way than any other Buddhist or Eastern philosphy-type book I've ever read. The second go 'round of Frederick Lenz's intense adventures in the snow covered peaks of the world's largest snowboard park had me crazily wanting to go there myself. I started boarding after reading the first book, and it has effected my whole life - literally. The second volume of Tantric Buddhist knowledge and wisdom is a western Buddhists crown jewel! These days, people who practice self discovery need something different to re-inspire their journey to enlightenment. If you want a new slant on ancient Buddhist teachings, this is what you've been looking for. It's easy to say, but the messages were so clear that I'm literally a changed person because of them. If you read this, Thank you, Frederick Lenz! I love snowboarding, and I love your books! THANK YOU! I am eagerly awaiting your next epic.
