Query: Beautiful, but not your "First Buddhism Book".

I agree with a reviewer Buster Paris.In this book, HH teaches The Four Noble Truth which are the very foundation of the Buddhist teaching. However, I do not recomend this book to a first time Buddhist book reader who's naturally not familier with Buddhist's technical terms.If you are willing to start learning Buddhism and wondering where to start, Lama Surya Das's "Awakening the Buddha Within" I think is the best.It deals with the Four Noble Truth & the Eightfold Path in simple English and is really well structured. It's fantastic.And if you would like to read "a book by the Dalai Lama" to see what Buddhism can offer, or just to be inspired, I recomend "Healing Anger - The Power of Patience from a Buddhist Perspective" which is a transcript of oral teachings delivered by HH in Arisona for the Buddhists & non-Buddhists.Well, you can come back to "A Simple Path" when you are ready!This is truly beautiful a book. You will be happy to own one.
