Buddha Is as Buddha Does: The Ten Original Practices for Enlightened Living by Lama Surya Das

redroofcolleen's review against another edition

3.0

I liked this book and found it instructional, but a bit flat, too, no bells of inspiration going off. I guess that's what I expected.

A practical guide full of anecdotes, poems and stories from one of the foremost Western teachers of Dzogchen Buddhism.

This book is geared towards applying Buddhist practices, philosophy and beliefs to living in the constantly changing and challenging social conditions of modern life. A simple and sweet approach with opportunities for self-reflection and a deeper understanding of Buddhism in general.

Highly recommend for people who want an in depth but highly accessible approach to Buddhist philosophy designed to expand your perception and lighten the mind.

I spent ten months slowly going through this book, chapter by chapter. Each month I practiced a paramita and blogged about it at beasoulninja.com. This has been a powerful experience and this book above all others has shepherded me through this practice. I’m grateful for Lama Surya Das’ wise teaching and practical application. Highly recommend.
