Having visited both Vietnam and Nepal in recent years and living the countries I realised I knew very little of buddism or eastern religions in general. Upon coming across this book in my goto used book store it looked like it would be interesting. It's more niche than a general introduction to buddism and explores a specific approach making it probably more suited to someone with some basic knowledge, all the same it was very interesting. The approach to the practising and the reasoning behind the methods are well explained and it is tempting to take some on board. There's some repetition which I always find to be a common occurrence but this is not the worst offender by a long way. I will happily read more on the subject in the future so this book can be considered an evangelical success.
