Five Books Recommended by the Grand Rapids Buddhist Temple and Zen Center to Help in Your Understanding of Buddhist Practice



1...The Dhammapada – Any Translation
...Perhaps the most cherished part of Buddhist scripture.
...The temple gives the translation by Eknath Easwaran
...to its Preceptors.

2...Buddha – by Karen Armstrong
...An excellent biography of the Buddha.

3...The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching – by Thich Nhat Hanh
...The basics.

4...Buddhism Plain and Simple – by Steve Hagen
...Buddhism in everyday, accessible language without religious ritual.

5...What the Buddha Taught – by Walpola Rahula
...Somewhat scholastic, but arguably the best introduction to the Teaching and the Practice.
