"Without a doubt the most accessible and down-to-earth introduction to the basic tenets of Buddhism available . . . a delight to read." —San Francisco Chronicle
Using delightful and deceptively powerful stories from everyday experiences, beloved Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein demystifies spirituality, charts the path to happiness through the Buddha's basic teachings, shows how to eliminate hindrances to clear seeing, and develops a realistic course toward wisdom and compassion in a wonderfully engaging guide full of humor, memorable insights, and love.

"[An] obviously loving heart . . . shapes these translations of Buddhist tenets and practices." —Publishers Weekly

"A fine introduction to Buddhism cast in the language of everyday experience. Highly recommended." —Library Journal

"Endearingly personal wisdom in doses that slide right into the heart." —Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are

"Filled with delightfully wise and simple teachings." —Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
