Opening The Door Of Your Heart And Other Buddhist Tales Of Happiness (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Membawa buku ini serasa duduk berdampingan dengan beliau (Ajahn Brahm), menyenangkan sekali mendengar petuahnya dengan senyuman berlipat-lipat dari beliau, kadang tertawa-tawa haru. Dan selintas kusadari “kebahagiaan yang dibagikan oleh beliau adalah hasil dari jam terbang yang tinggi akan ketidakbahagiaan yang ada”. Aku menyebutnya ” Jurus Ajahn” manjur sudah aku memakainya, diantaranya “ Memikirkannya, jauh lebih berat dari pada Mengerjakannya”. Dan masih banyak jurus yang lain. A superb book. I originally got this from my public library, but I know I'll be purchasing my own personal copy soon. The stories in this book are fantastic, and definitely appropriate to the Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike.One reviewer mentioned that not all the stories have meanings. Of course not! Some of the stories are there just to make you laugh. That's Ajan Brahm's style. He even included a story about why laughing is important! Some stories are just that - stories.The vast majority are deeply profound, however. These stories will cause you to truly rethink your approach to life, at least they did for me. So many times I found myself nodding my head as I was reading, I returned to several of the stories on multiple occasions to really soak up the meaning.This book will not disappoint: funny, insightful, deep in some parts and light in others. Not to mention, it's a quick read, and it's one that you can easily put down and return to again later. I quoted and sent a few of the stories in here to friends going through tough times. If I had to recommend one book that every unhappy person read, it would be this one.
What do You think about Opening The Door Of Your Heart And Other Buddhist Tales Of Happiness (2000)?

I read this book but it was titled "Opening the Door of Your Heart." Loved it.
