When it comes to religion, I\u2019m quite the fan of Buddhism. And believe me when I say I have read more than my fair share of intro to Buddhism type books. That\u2019s why I\u2019m excited to tell you I recently read my new favorite book of the genre, \u201cBuddhism 101\u201d by Arnie Kozak, PhD.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ The cover describes \u201cBuddhism 101\u201d as a \u201cCrash Course in Buddhism\u201d, and what an amazing crash course it is! Despite its diminutive size, perfect for carrying in a purse (ask me how I know), \u201cBuddhism 101\u201d leaves no stone unturned. Kozak covers everything Buddhism, not just separating schools, but discussing the subtleties of the religion as they vary by country. He starts at the very beginning, before Buddha was Buddha, and leads you through a time line that eventually spans the globe to today.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuddhism 101\u201d does more than just describe the religion, it addresses many questions that a specifically Western audience might ask, and discusses Buddhist practices in the modern Western world. Want to know enough about Buddhism to discuss it intelligently? Want to see if Buddhism is right for you? \u201cBuddhism 101\u201d will handily address both those questions.<\/p>\n
