"There are many spiritual moments in this book. It is inspirational and long lived in history as well as individual lives. By the time you are finished you come to realize that in the bottom foundation, there is not much difference between Christianity and Buddhism.

Pretty cool for someone who is curious and open minded to all perspectives of achieving a purposeful and "good" life."
