Buddha's hand - Wikipedia

Wallis was able to keep the poetic beauty of the Buddha's words. Cogan, on the other hand, was pretty straight forward, which may be appropriate for some but not for me. Still, the basic message is clear. Do not cling to material attachments. Help those who are in need. I spent an entire summer going through dozens of translations and finally found a really plain transliteration! I had such a good time with this I eventually realized I was getting attached to a book about nonattachment.

Personally, I believe this to be most befitting of someone who is familiar with Buddhism but enjoys the simple, quotable phrases to remind oneself to—well—behave! It would be wonderful if it was put into calendar format to see a phrase or two a day.

May 08, Jd Guinn rated it liked it. I read this some while ago when I first got my Nook. Not at all bad for a freebie. I maintain it in my library and find myself frequently referring back to it in times of stress; waiting in doctors offices, waiting for court, nothing to do at work. Due to it's verse like structure it is both easy to pick up and easy to put down.

I can read a few passages and draw something from it without feeling like a need to finish a chapter or the book itself in one setting.

Jan 13, Brandy Hunt rated it it was amazing. I've been reading this chapter by chapter for almost three months now, and I have to say it has been very deep and uniquely instpirational. I won't say it will bring you closer to either Karma or Dharma, but it did help with my own meditation practices.

I can see rereading this again if I need some guidance on what to meditate on.

After reading this free little quickie and visiting the author's website, I'm not sure what to say about this one. Mar 05, Janet rated it liked it. This was a great little book to read in short bits.

Actually the entire book wasn't really very long at all. I enjoyed the sayings of Buddha. I don't know anything about the Buddha's sayings, but I hope this book is faithful to the original sayings.
