Publisher's Synopsis
This is the perfect beginner's guide to Buddhism. Organised in an easy to use Question and Answer format, Manuel answers the many common questions people have about Buddhism, such as: - "Do you have a book like the Bible or Koran?" - "What do Buddhists believe?" - "Are there core teachings?" - "Do you believe in a god?" - "Do some people have good karma and some bad?" - "Why do the monks, nuns and priests shave their heads?" Manuel, also, intertwines her personal experiences as a dharma practitioner, her life in the Sangha and her travels around the world meeting other Buddhist practitioners, throughout the book. Included are illustrations by the author in her hand-tinted trademark charcoal and pencil style.
