rdeca 's review for:
What Makes You Not a Buddhist
by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
3.5/5
Fairly provocative introduction to (Tibetan) Buddhism for westerners. The first Buddhist book I've seen written by a Tibetan with so many pop-culture references. He almost leans on bullying us westerners into abandoning our wrong views.
I think there are better proper introductions to Buddhism, but this one works well as a shake up for those caught up in the confusion of what Buddhism is, what it is not, and how its teachings can be applied to our lives.
