“So many interesting things to do. So little time to do them in.” —

“Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment
and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.” —Thich Nhat Hanh, Present Moment Wonderful Moment, p3

another good read

The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh

My review rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think highly of Thich Nhat Hanh, so I was was glad to get a chance to read this book: one that focuses on core Buddhist teachings. Much more abstract and philosophical than other Thich Nhat Hanh books, but a gem in its own right.

a good read

Buddha Volume 2: The Four Encounters by Osamu Tezuka

My review rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am really enjoying this series. I picked up book two mostly because I was in a bookstore that had it, and decided to continue on. This volume introduces Siddhartha and his early years. Great reading!
