About this listen

Presented in a practical Q&A format, No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners is the most clear-cut introductory guide to understanding the essential concepts of Buddhism and how they relate to your daily life.

How is an awakening different from enlightenment? Can agnostics and atheists be Buddhist? Am I supposed to stop thinking when I meditate? In No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners, renowned Buddhism teacher and host of the popular Secular Buddhism podcast, Noah Rasheta, delivers an easily accessible introduction to the teachings of Buddhism that answers these common questions and many more.

With No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners you’ll gain a fundamental understanding of Buddhism and how to apply the philosophies in your everyday life, through:

  • A simple four-part structure addressing the different aspects of Buddhism - the Buddha, key Buddhist concepts, the Buddha’s teachings, and current Buddhist practices
  • Straightforward Q&A’s that simplify the vital concepts of Buddhism into easy-to-understand ideas
  • “Everyday Buddhism” sidebars that make Buddhism less abstract by offering down-to-earth examples from everyday life

Presented in a simple, conversational style, the information and guidance in No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners provides the groundwork that is necessary for building or continuing your own Buddhist practice.

Great for Beginners who want the basics of Buddhism

I was surprised that this book was so good sometimes when they try to give you a concise short explanation it turns out to be meaningless. This book would be good for people that both know about Buddhism already and those who don’t. It is complete and easy to understand. And it is short without a lot of big words. I believe I will listen to it several times again and take notes. I highly recommend this book. I was also able to listen to it at 1.6 speed.

Brilliantly explained

I hardly ever leave reviews but he did a fantastic job not only explaining but the performance was A+ ... I will not only be listening to the other books he recommended but I'll be referring back to this one time and time again
