THE BUDDHA WALKS INTO A BAR
Buddhism for "Generation O"--young people now in their twenties--from an eloquent and funny young teacher There's a new thirst for spirituality among young people today--but they're less inclined to adjust their lives around traditional religious forms than they are to look for transformation within their existing lifestyles. And they have a natural affinity for Buddhism. This is a book for them--by one of them.
Lodro Rinzler speaks the language of Generation O, as his compatriots are known, and he's a respected Buddhist teacher in his own right. His book is a complete introduction to Buddhism, without the cultural trappings, in language that anyone can understand but that will be especially appreciated by young people today under thirty. It's entertaining, chatty, and often funny, but also very serious. It's for anyone who wants to use the Buddha's teachings to awaken like he did.
"If I'm anything, I guess I'm a Buddhist . . . ": This is a commonly heard statement from Generation O--the term used to refer to young people now in college or entering the workforce with a renewed sense of purpose and activism. They're web- and tech-savvy and they look for spirituality outside the traditional places. This book is for them. The Buddha Walks into a Bar
