Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to this book on audio. After the first chapter, I almost felt like I was being scolded. Just the reader‘s tone of voice starting to bug me. Made some great points but, overall, it was a little harsh for me.

About to start this one which was recommended by a friend.

Getting my Sunday morning read on with my ancient and wise cat Slick. He‘s 19 years old and definitely has become more Buddhist-like in his old age. He is less violent knocking things off the counter and less aggressive about getting pets, but def not 100% zen yet.

Love this short book dispelling myths about Buddhism, making it more accessible to others.

I love this book. It's informative and makes you think a lot about the world we live in. I don't feel like you have be a buddhist (I'm not) or completely agree with everything to learn some stuff. It gets you thinking and it had an intriguing tone. It's not an easy read, some things are hard to grasp and it has some harsh truths in it. I enjoyed it either way.

This was a very good effort at making Buddhism relatable - more about how you approach life than how you execute ceremonies.

I think the part that will stick with me the most is the bit at the end, about the tea and the teacup. That really matches my feelings about different religions/practices.
