Hi,

 

I also have this book. It seemed to get good reviews at Amazon.

Problem is that it's all over the place ! Zen , Pureland and other Buddhist scriptures,as well as

Taoism & Confusionism.(sp.)

Mixing all different paths , too much confusion .

Mal -- talk about "commodity fetish"! haha.

 

"I don't like" -- who cares! haha.

 

I had to couple "working towards enlightenment" with REALIZING ENLIGHTENMENT -- part two of the same lecture series.

 

Plus I had to read each book THREE TIMES before I understood the basic concepts.

 

You're not SUPPOSED to understand it at first -- that's why it's called LEARNING.

 

You're not in a Mall dude. haha.

 

This is your brain on enlightenment.

yup, its definitely a read, re-read book. the insights are invaluable though a lot of it I have had to read, re-read, ponder, read again...

Actually it's still in my active book pile Every now and then I can understand a bit more, it's just a very different book than what I expected.

it's just a very different book than what I expected.

 

good metaphor for enlightenment right there
