I liked the format of questions and answers. It was good to see Buddhism in real life practice and how simple it is yet so difficult. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone seeking more information about Buddhism and what it means to practice Buddhism.
Reviewer 238609
The Buddha Journey: Questions and Answers for the Awakening Mind by Quang Tri is a good book about the principles and concepts of Buddhism.
This book starts at the beginning with a brief introduction to the Buddha and how he found enlightenment. We are then shown the eightfold path and the “twelve principles of dependent origination” before delving deeper into concepts such as loving-kindness, karma, rebirth and meditation. We are even shown Buddhist chants and mantras and if we wish how to follow the Buddhist path ourselves or integrate it into our current religion.
I enjoyed this book and think it is a great introduction to Buddhism. I was glad that it went over much of Buddhist philosophy and enjoyed the question answer format. I would recommend it to those interested in studying religions and those wanting to learn about Buddhism in general.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Waldorf Publishing for my review copy. I acknowledge that I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of the book.

This is a definitive book on Buddhism. It explains the history, content and beliefs in layman's terms for anyone that is interested in furthering their practice or learning about Buddhism. I intent to buy a hard copy for friends and one for myself as reference material to use in my practice. The material here is exquisitely presented and detailed in its perfection of each area of Buddhism. You will be pleased to find some chants and daily practices here as well. A excellent addition to your practice. Thank you for the ARC which did not influence my review of this fine book.

A clear and warm picture of the practice of Buddhist philosophy.
I highly recommend this book for people interested in knowing, understanding and applying in their lives the principles of Buddhist philosophy. It is written in a very enjoyable, well structured, all concepts are well explained and detailed enough, contains a useful section of Q & A and glossary. The style of the author is very clear and warm, it mixes the richness of information with the beauty of this philosophy to be applied by anyone and benefit from their practices.
I believe that Buddhism is a great philosophy, of high level of consciousness and love, with great beauty and coherence, that guarantees freedom from suffering if it is practiced properly and with perseverance. It is a book that can be read by all people to be part of their universal cultural education. The self-development and personal growth that these practices provide are being researched scientifically, and the beneficial impact it brings is becoming increasingly well known. Self-knowledge and the development of compassion are key elements for achievement, success, healthy and joyful relationships, sustained balance and happiness, and a more coherent life.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book
