Amazon.com Review:
You might want to digest this book slowly, a few pages at a time. Although Zen teacher Steve Hagen has a knack for putting the philosophy of Buddhism in a "plain and simple" package, it may take a while to sink in. There is so much there. Seeing reality, realizing the wisdom of the self, breaking free of dualistic thinking--this is pretty heady stuff. Thankfully, Hagen passes it along in the form of examples from life, psychological tidbits, and stories from Buddhist teachers past and present. And when it clicks in, it can be life-transforming. Hagen explains this shift in outlook and how the fundamental way we look at the world affects everything we do. As an outline, Hagen follows the basic teachings of the Buddha, and we see that, rather than dogmatic truths, they are reminders for us as we reconsider the life we have taken for granted for so long. As it turns out, Buddhism is life, plain and simple. --Brian Bruya
Product Description:

This book could have been written in a couple of paragraphs and could be summed up as "believe in nothing and nothing will matter." There is no depth and much redundancy. Regardless of credentials, I don't think the author really knew what he was writing about.

The title gives away the charlatan writing this book. Any slight working knowledge of Buddhism will tell you as much. I am no expert by any means, but from what I recall: life is suffering, and our consciousness is caught in the torment of this samsara. Getting out of samsara is no "plain and simple" task. Samsara is the default state, and only careful cultivation of mind can slowly diminish its effect on consciousness (with the hope we reach nirvana and parinirvana). They talk about something ...

The way this book is broken up into parts then chapters and then sections makes you feel more like you're listening to someone than just reading some book about some guy's take on life. Great for beginners to help you understand and get a great start. Also is great for experienced Buddhists to get a grip on reality and to be reminded of the teachings. I recommend this book.

I recently gave my last well-worn copy of this book, Buddhism Plain and Simple, to a valued friend, so I needed to purchase another copy for myself (and I have given several copies to others over the years). If you are curious about Buddhism, if you have some questions you want answered in (truly) plain and simple language, this book will become a treasure for you. Please, buy this book! It's written by an American and is very accessible. Give it to yourself for the holidays. Give it to your friends ... Read More

I was just looking over Steve Hagen's book, Buddhism Plain and Simple. He is supposed to know a lot about Mind with capital "M", after all he received transmission from Katagiri Roshi. I know I shouldn't gripe when Hagen says something serious about Mind on page 113 of his book. After all he is at least talking about the higher Mind which is more than most Zen teachers do. He says, interestingly:
"But there's another mind that is unborn, ungrown, and unconditioned. Unlike ... Read More
