Kopen van Shambhala or Amazone

Venerable Thubten Chodron is someone whose life embodies the virtues of kindness, simplicity, and a clarity of vision, which lie at the heart of the Buddha’s teaching. It is these perennial qualities that shine through her writings and touch the hearts of readers all over the world.
—Thupten Jinpa, Hoofdvertaler Engels voor de Dalai Lama en auteur, essentieel Geesttraining

Een zeer nuttige handleiding om je reis op het pad van Dharma te beginnen.
-Tibet Journaal

Thubten Chodron explains in clear, down-to-earth language the essence of Buddhist philosophy and psychology, giving us practical tools to implement immediately in our daily lives. The ‘How to Have Good Relationships with Others’ section grew from requests made by young Westerners being taught meditatie by this exemplary teacher … A must-have book you can give to your family members or friends who haven’t a clue about Buddhism.
-Mandala: een Tibetaans boeddhistisch dagboek

Chodron, an American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun, here offers her second introduction to Buddhism for Western audiences, but unlike Boeddhisme voor beginners, this book has a practical bent showing readers how to carry out the practices of Buddhism in daily life. Sections include fine and concise overviews of the history of Buddhist traditions and an overview of Buddhism today. Best of all perhaps for the curious reader is a section called ‘Taming Bad Habits,’ which contains advice on how not to complain, speak of the faults of others, live in the past, or take part in any of the world’s other transitory pleasures. Highly recommended.
-Bibliotheekjournaal

Biedt nuttige adviezen... gebruik van eenvoudige taal in westerse concepten... Dit boek zal de vele bewonderaars van de auteur in verrukking brengen.
