Book Reviews of The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
Book Review: Read With Caution
Summary: 4 Stars
THBT is divided into four parts: the first, an introduction to the 4Noble Truths; the second, the Eightfold Path; the third, to some of the major Buddhist and Mahayana-Buddhist concepts such as, the Three Dharma Seals, The Twelve Links of Dependent Co-Arising, and the Three Bodies of the Buddha, etc; the fourth part, includes some discourses such as the "Turning of the Wheel" and "Right View." As is usual with TNH the writing is clear, and very accessible, but without outside information it is hard for a beginner to know that the views expressed are not of a "generic" Buddhism but of a particular sub-group of Mahayanist teaching. The book can, however provide a solid basis for understanding Buddhism, Buddhist philosophy and most importantly a particular expression of the gentle and non-coercive nature of the Buddha's message.
Summary of The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
In The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Thich Nhat Hanh introduces us to the core teachings of Buddhism and shows us that the Buddha's teachings are accessible and applicable to our daily lives. With poetry and clarity, Nhat Hanh imparts comforting wisdom about the nature of suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy--all qualities of enlightenment. Covering such significant teachings as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Doors of Liberation, the Three Dharma Seals, and the Seven Factors of Awakening, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching is a radiant beacon on Buddhist thought for the initiated and uninitiated alike.What should we think when on the one hand Buddhism tells us that life is suffering and on the other we are told to enjoy life's every moment? Loved around the world for his simple, straightforward explanations of Buddhism, Thich Nhat Hanh has finally turned his hand to the very core of Buddhism and conundrums such as this. In the traditional way, Thich Nhat Hanh takes up the core teachings one by one--the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Twelve Links of Interdependent Co-Arising--but his approach is as fresh as a soft breeze through a plum orchard. For illustration, he dips into the vast stores of Buddhist literature right alongside contemporary anecdotes, pointing out subtleties that can get glossed over in other popular introductions. He also includes three short but key sutras, essential source teachings from which all Buddhism flows. Studying the basics of Buddhism under Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh is like learning basketball from Michael Jordan. --Brian Bruya
