What an eye opener

I would recommend this to anyone, not just people interested in Buddhism. The genius of the book is that it is written in plain everyday language. But the writing and simple stories and metaphors have a huge impact. Kubose was an American Buddhist and what's great about that is he speaks about Buddhism in very straight forward, easy to understand language. I have read other books on Buddhism but often times something is lost in translation. Not so with this. Kubose's understanding of Buddhism is excellent and he has the power to communicate it well with brevity and charm. Each article is only about 2 pages long but after reading just one article you can sit and ponder it for about a half hour. So simple and yet so deep and meaningful. I have bought about 10 copies and handed them out to friends. Simply fantastic.

Living a Natural Life

The teachings of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in a simple, straightforward and easy to comprehend style. That is the trademark of Gyomay Kubose. Another wonderful work by a gifted teacher. You will be very lucky to get your hands on this book... Your mind, your heart and your life will be enlightened...
