Theravada Buddhism - Simple Guides

Like / Dislike - Liked the topics author picked and how approached them. Brief in words, but gave me good understanding. Can’t think of anything I disliked.Who recommend this book to - Anyone who’s interested in Buddhism, but doesn’t want to invest a lot of time yet, to determine if they want to pursue further. Also recommend for someone who has been practicing Buddhism for a short time, but would like a more well-rounded education.Why rating - the book did exactly what I expected it to do: provide a simple guide.

Came very quickly. Just as described.

This book is perfect for people who know nothing about Theravada Buddhism. It explains the history, beliefs, and common practices of Theravada Buddhism. My only negative comment is that the book is smaller than I thought it would be. This book might look like it's the same size as all the other books on Amazon, but it's actually a lot smaller.

This book does exactly what it states. It gives you the bear heart of what Theravada Buddhism is, what those who practice it generally think as well as the layman views on it from east and western points. It does it in a way which is long and deep enough to give you what you want to know and a little more. Without over complicating it with alot of opinions, and degressions! Absolutely worth buying.

This book is very simple to follow and learn about Theravada Buddhism. I'm a Theravada Buddhist and I bought it so I can read it to my daughter (who is currently only 17 months old but she will grow into the book).This book is good for anyone interested in an intro to buddhism.

Very nice introduction to Theravada and general Buddhism foundations.Good to read befor goint to Theravada country as it touches cultural issues that may arise without some knowledge, eg why monks do not behave gratefull when dontated etc.

I purchased this book as I am new to the Buddhist teachings and wanted to learn the basics. This is a great little book that you can read in an afternoon and covers just that, the basic teachings and practices of Buddhism. It is an easy read and I recommend as a starter book in learning Buddhism.

This is a good, short, simple explanation of this branch of Buddhism. I wanted to understand the difference of the various versions of Buddhism, but especially the form practiced in Cambodia before my trip there. This was a great resource that enhanced my experience in that wonderful part of the world.

This really is a simple guide, but covers everything you need if you're just starting out on the path or if you're just curious.

Very clear and easy to understand little book. All I needed to have a basic knowledge of Theravada Buddhism.Absolutely worth the cost.

If you're curious about buddhism, or just how you can learn to feel better within yourself, this is a must read.

Great book for anyone wanting to start with this subject.

Brilliant
