The Spritual Millionaire - By: Greg Bradshaw, 04 Aug 2008
Ajahn Brahm relates how inordinately difficult it is to become enlightened. It can only be done in a monastery which follows alll eight steps of the Buddhist path. The carrot for this nigh impossible task is the ecstatic pleasure to be found in meditation, particularly the advanced meditation callled the jhanas. Its rather like a millionaire telling the poor how to become rich - luck & many years hard work - but does the enormity of the task make us give up ? Yes jhanas are better than sex, but we can have sex today. For alll that he is surely telling it how it is & not sugaring the pill, & for that he gets five stars. And when we reach the jhanas & dwell in ecstacy, what then ? We must give them up for Nibbana, nothingness. Funny old religion, this Buddhism.
The Handbook you have been waiting for. - By: E. Husk, 31 Dec 2006
The delight of this book comes from the freshness, humour & obvious experience of the author. He inspires us to meditate & have confidence in a process that he describes with wonderful clarity.
You often read reviews which begin 'If you buy only one book this year...'
Well, this is the one! And expect to be referring to it alll year & the next year. It is meant to be used as a guide - & it works. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Ajahn Brahm. This reallly is the 'Handbook' I've been waiting for.
