New Buddha Way has its own instruction manuals:
These are in a series of three short not-for-profit books, published by Laleston Press.
Book 1: Ethical Living
Book 2: Meditation
Book 3: Insight
These books can be read alone, for guiding your practice at home and daily life. 96 pages each, illustrated.
You can also follow our courses in Guildford and Woking using the books at home at the same time. This is a very effective method, unique to NBW.
To order the books go to Amazon at: www.amazon.co.uk (UK) or www.amazon,com (USA) and use the search term 'New Buddha Way'.
The books are also available on sale at 5 pounds at the regular NBW sessions and Beginners' Class.
Some reviews of Book 1
1) "This is an inspiring and potentially life-changing book, written in an easy-to-read style that belies the profundity of the thought that lies behind it. The author, who has deep experiential and theoretical understanding of Buddhism, has taken a hard look at the source texts and has begun the task of reintroducing the Buddha's way into the modern world. Ethical Living is the first in a series of 3 books that aim to translate the 4 Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path of classical Theravada Buddhism into a workable manual for 21st century life, without the jargon, misunderstandings and ossifications that have characterised previous Buddhist 'movements' from both West and East. 'Lay' readers, those beginning their engagement with Buddhism and those with more experience will all find much of comfort and hope in Ethical Living. I would class it with The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh as one of the texts that has profoundly changed my thinking and my experience of life." [Ed Rowe, Buckinghamshire]
2) "I very much recommend this book to anyone enquiring into Buddhism and/or Zen or meditation in general. There's not a wasted word and the style is crystal clear with many a memorable phrase worthy of underlining. Which, when you think about it, is a commendable achievement in covering a two and a half millennium old practice. Far better that that a put-everything-in bloated tome which new enquirers will never get round to reading. In short, less-is-more." [Red Priestess, Surrey]
