The clearest and best... [Posted on 2008-01-25]
...elucidation of Buddhist thought that I've encountered in forty years, particularly for those that have already have experience with Buddhist meditational practices. If you have been paying attention, you will see the science of mind (Buddhism) rigorously and vividly described here. Great job!

Buddhist Practice Manual for Westerners [Posted on 2008-04-18]
"Wake up to Your Life" is an excellent practice text that includes clear pragmatic explanantions of Buddhist Psychology and specific practice instructions. Throughout, Ken MCleod has done a wonderful job of translating from the original Tibetan texts and teachings into a style that is readable and relavant to Westerners.

Mind-opening in its clarity [Posted on 2008-06-20]
This book describes a practice that, if followed with integrity, honesty, determination, and wisdom, will lead you to true peace and true happiness. It is not pop psychology, new-age religion, nor feel-good self-help babble. Your path will be difficult, and you will do lots of hard work. But if you stick with it, your results will be amazing. The method is freely available world-wide, and happily taught by experts who probably ask for meager voluntary donations, if anything. The method is adaptable to any individual, because you use its techniques to uncover your own causes of unhappiness, and to remove them from your mind.

This technique was originally pioneered about 2600 years ago, by a man commonly known as "The Buddha". Since then, many strange cultural, mythical, and dogmatic artifacts have been added to "Buddhism". If we could wave a magic wand, and strip them all away, we'd be left with something very much like this book.

Thank you, Ken, for writing straight from the heart of wisdom, and for sharing your hard-won experiences.

More than Useful -- It's Essential [Posted on 2008-06-30]
This overview of key Buddhist concepts is more than useful to anyone interested in Buddhism, or in any meditative discipline -- it's essential. Ken McLeod describes Buddhist concepts in a way that is completely accessible to any literate person. McLeod takes foreign terms like "bodhisattva", which have been bandied about Western dharma centres with imprecision for years, and translates them with meticulous exactitude ("awakening being"). His insights into the true meaning of traditional Buddhist teachings are often surprising, always enlightening. More important, these ideas are presented, not for academic consideration, but as something that can be put into practice right now. No religious faith of any kind is required to benefit from the practical application of these traditional truths.
