Buddhist teachings are very interesting to read.
I like to read this author, Pema Chodron, who is an American born Buddhist nun and who has severl down to earth philosophy books. Her writing is very calming . I also really like her CD that she narrates herself. Her books can be found at
www.shambhala.com and some are on Amazon. Her books included :When Thinks Fall Apart and The Wisdom of No Escape. They're easy to read and make you think!
