Book Reviews of Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World

Book Review: "Don't get too close to the page!!!!"
Summary: 2 Stars

Being a sceptical logically minded person of a catholic upbringing I have recently opened up my mind to new religions and faiths, in order to find the right one for me or to take the best of a few. This is why i bought this book. At first the story of the author drew me in and I began to listen to the lessons that were being tought. However over time I found the book disturbing in the way it led from offering points of view and describing what was believed right by the different buddhist faiths to force feeding the reader with what's right and wrong, and which path is ideally followed.

Overall I was dissapointed with how the book was written but I still learnt alot about the buddhist faith, I just think we should follow our faith in our own way, a non uniformist buddhist way is, i believe, what the future needs.
