For anyone who is curious about the teachings of Buddha and modern Buddhist practice, Tell Me Something about Buddhism offers the perfect introduction. Organized in an easy-to-use Question and Answer format, Soto Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel answers the many common questions people have about Buddhism, such as:
Who Was Buddha?
What are the Four Noble Truths?
Do you have a holy book like the Bible or Koran?
What do Buddhists believe?
Are there core teachings?
Do you believe in a god?
Do some people have good karma and some bad? Why do the monks, nuns, and priests shave their heads?
Can Buddhists eat meat?
Manuel intertwines throughout the book her personal experiences as one of the first African-American Zen priests in the U.S., her life in the Sangha, and her travels around the world meeting other Buddhist practitioners. Included are about 20 illustrations by the author in her trademark charcoal-and-pencil style.
