Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Jonnie and anyone else interested, Most of the books that I have are of a bent to teach me some about Buddhist teachings in general, but most to help me move towards "letting go", "forgiveness", and "non-judgementalism". Basically issues I am working with that friends have offered another avenue for me to utilize and consider on my own spiritual path. Many I have ready already, some I have not gotten to yet. All are highly recommended to me by people I respect and therefore I feel comfortable to recommend to others. Use as you wish. May they show you what might be helpful to understand something of Buddhism and the Buddha's teachings. And yes, I own all of these texts so I valued them enough as a guide to buy them if that helps. But please feel free to start by getting them in their local library or via library loan. The order listed does not mean the order to read, though I might recommend the Tao Te Ching as the place to start.
