Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal
training method for this generation's short attention span. The
chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are
simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote and
teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can
relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find this book
motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, Don't try to use what you
learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better
whatever-you-already-are. Whether it's Mother Teresa's acts of
charity, Gandhi's perseverance, or your aunt Betty's calm demeanor,
it doesn't matter who inspires you, so long as you're motivated to
be better today than you were yesterday. Regardless or religion or
geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual
orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do
good, you feel good, and if you do bad, you feel bad. If you agree
that Buddhism isn't just about meditating, but also about rolling
up your slee ves and relieving some of the suffering in the world,
then you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love;
welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp.
