Buddhism Is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond BeliefsBestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen examines the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of Buddhism: How can we see the world as it really is, rather than through the veil of our own hopes and fears? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality?

Bestselling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen examines the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of Buddhism: How can we see the world as it really is, rather than through the veil of our own hopes and fears? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it?

Drawing on examples from everyday life as well as stories from Buddhist teachers past and present, Hagen tackles these fundamental inquiries with his trademark straightforward prose. The newcomer to Buddhism will be inspired by this accessible and informative introduction, and those more familiar with it will welcome this much needed hands-on guide to understanding what it truly means to be awake. Buddhism is Not What You Think offers a clear and profound path to a life of joy and freedom.

Steve Hagen has studied Buddhism for more than thirty years. He spent fifteen years studying with Dainin Katagiri Roshi, from whom he received Dharma transmission (endorsement to teach). He is a Zen priest and head teacher at Dharma Field Zen Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is also the author of the international bestseller Buddhism Plain and Simple.

"This is not just another nice book about Buddhism, one telling us what we like to hear and are used to hearing. No -- it is a clear and challenging showing of the fundamental truth of our lives. This is an exceptional book. Make good use of it."

- Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday Zen

Disappointed
Size: Tub 8 Ounce
Not happy with this product. The product fails to give the desired results. I used the entire thing but left disappointed. The price is high for this small amount and on top of that it doesn't help with the diaper rash.

Can be used for more than just diaper rash...
Size: Tub 8 Ounce
We were turned on to using diaper rash ointment for healing cracked heels and rough hands. Our German exchange daughter brought a cream from Germany that was fantastic and we have spent the last fifteen years trying to find something US based that could compare. As grandparents, we also wanted to make sure when we are on deck for diaper duty we use something approved by very picky natural based parents. I figured I would try it out on myself first and frankly my hands need it desperately. The ingredients are natural based, well researched, and used in the top rated diaper rash creams. It is a New York company founded by a woman trying to come up with a burn cream for her daughter years ago. They have a poison oak bar they developed along with other healing creams. After researching it, as I encourage everyone to do on any skin or health product, I felt comfortable enough to give it a go. It comes well sealed in a small jar and is a firm creamy ointment. It smells nice - a little sweet and flowery, but not overwhelming - just a natural scent really. It only takes a scooch and covers well. I was expecting a thick what paste as in diaper creams from back in my day but this is transparent when you put it on. It absorbs nicely but leaves a water shedding quality. My normally rough hands are soft this morning and what I like best is the water shedding properties. I ran my hands under the water just to put it to the test and it did great. I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues. Really a nice cream I feel totally comfortable using myself and on those cute lil baby buns. The company put a lot of care into developing their products and I appreciate it. Oh, one question I would be asking is "is it oily" - It is not. The feeling you get from it is best described as "soft". The con - the writing on the jar is so small (old people can't see) so I relied on being able to blow up the pictures on here. What would be great is if they would add the back of the jar in the pictures too.

easy to use spatula
This two pack of baby spatulas are easy to use and easy to clean. You don't have to worry about getting your fingers sticky or messy when applying creams to your baby. The suction cup on the end is a nice touch so that you can stand these up straight and not get another surface dirty or sticky. Definitely recommend this item to new parents!
