• The road to enlightenment
  The author Lama Surya Das has created a book that is truly the road to enlightenment. By presenting the ten Paramitas that Boddhisattvas follow in their practice he has given us the behaviors we must cultivate in our minds that will eventually lead to our own liberation from our ego.(Boddhisatvas are serious Buddhist practioners that take many vows, one of which is to liberate everyone from delusion).

• A very helpful book for those who want to practice!
  Our meditation class is reading this book and we all think very highly of it. Lama Surya Das makes Buddhist practice practical for the common person.

I recommend diving into "Buddha is as Buddha Does" with gusto and giving the practices a try. Start small and see what happens!

  Well - this is a book about personal development. It is a book that has a touch of that "recipe style" that American authors "eat up" - but in this case what is delivered to "the table" is so much more than I could have ever hoped for or expected it is challenging to put it succinctly into words.more info
