Hilarious and deeply inspirational. I couldn't put it down and read from cover to cover in one sitting. Despite Ajahn Brahm's wonderful sense of humor he is able to get you thinking about Buddhist concepts on a very profound level. Of the many Buddhist books I have read this is one my most highly recommended. One need not be Buddhist to appreciate it either. It is too funny to pass over for anyone who enjoys a good laugh. The message applies to all of us and I can imagine many folks wanting to explore Buddhist philosophy on a deeper level after reading this. namaste Menyegarkan dan sangat menyejukan hati dan pikiran, dan saya sangat amat menikmati buku ini. Bukunya sendiri adalah kumupulan 108 cerita ringan yang dibagi2 dalam beberapa bab besar. Masing2 bab mengajarkan kembali nilai2 dasar yang sering dilupakan semua orang. Nilai2nya akan cenderung langsung tertanam di pikiran semua orang saya rasa. Mengapa? Karena gaya bahasa Ajahn Brahm ringan dan kata2nya sederhana, tapi seperti memiliki kekuatan menghipnotis dan tak diundang pun nilai2 itu bakal masuk ke alam bawah sadar dan yah, memberi manfaat, seperti yang digaransikan oleh publisher ttg 100% uang kembali. Garansi yg terkesan muluk, tapi garansi yg kayanya ga mungkin ada org klaim.. (siapa yg gak merasa tdk mendapat manfaat dr buku ini? Dan siapa jg yg rela kehilangan buku ini setelah membaca kisah2 didalamnya?)Anyway I'm looking forward to Si Cacing dan Kotoran Kesayangannya 2! :)
I really enjoyed this book. The stories were wise, funny, cute, and insightful.
