amus34 's review for:
What Makes You Not a Buddhist
by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
NOT for the faint of heart, or those interested in simply dabbling in superficial aspects of Buddhism. DJK won't stand for it. Overall, I was disappointed in the continuity of this book. At the beginning DJK states that one can be a meat-eating, Paris Hilton-worshiping materialist, but still be a Buddhist. At the end of the book, however, he condemns the practice of eating meat, as it not only harms another creature, but is an attempt to sustain your impermanent form. If this is the case, why eat at all? Why not just commit suicide now? This is just one of the many inconsistencies in this book, although it is a fascinating introduction to underlying Buddhist philosophy.
