What Makes You Not a Buddhist
by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
"If you still define yourself as a Buddhist, you are not a Buddha yet." - Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.
In this book, Rinpoche did an excellent job in explaining the four dharma seals and the concept of emptiness, which was also thoroughly explained via various examples. This is a book suitable for beginners seeking to understand the basic concepts of Buddhism and also a book that helps to solidify some of the concepts for many practicing Buddhists. While it may be a book talking about Buddhist concepts, it remains very readable for non-Buddhists as well, as Rinpoche wrote it objectively with great clarity free of any bias.
The downside to the book is that its way too short for those seeking to understand more about Buddhist concepts through the lens of Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche. But, at the same time, it may also be a simple and easy read for others to breeze through with ease.
