Kurzbeschreibung
Ed is having a hard time - at work, in his love life and, well, generally. Then he meets an unlikely Buddhist - who drinks and smokes and talks his kind of language. Bit by bit, things begin to change...Ed doesn't always take Geoff's advice. Or, when he does he lapses at the crucial moment. His path to understanding is not a straight one, especially as life keeps throwing more and more 'stuff' at him. Often he fails - like most of us, in fact. But sometimes he manages to get it right. And when he does, surprising things begin to happen ...In The Buddha, Geoff and Me Edward Canfor-Dumas brings all his skills to bear in an absorbing story of everyday city life, where the characters stand out with all their human strengths and weaknesses, and the ending brings Ed - and perhaps all of us? - a hope we didn't necessarily expect. The Buddha, Geoff and Me - for anyone who's ever begun to wonder what the whole damn thing is all about .

This book is a wonderful surprise
14. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
For anyone who is interested in Nichiren Buddhism this book is a welcome addition to anyone's collection. The story is charming and the characters are likeable. And most importantly, you are getting Buddhism dosed throughout the book but not in a preachy style. You learn about Buddhism through one character's eyes as he tries to make his way through the pitfalls of life. If you have ever read The Buddha in Your Mirror you will find this a welcome addition. I would like to see this book on the shelves of American bookstores (sorry Amazon). This is a must read!

Encore!

Hello!
This book was exactly what I needed to give me a "pick me up." It is amazing that when I read the book it provided motivation and changed my perspective on life and it's challenges to see them as opportunities. I COULD NOT put the thing down. I had to find out what was going to happen next.
It also help to understand Nichiren Buddhism more. Helping those in need, having compassion, and Karma. Beautiful in a way rarely seen in everyday life today. Such a refreshing oasis that it provided for me.
I am waiting to for the next book by this guy. He is brilliant! Hard to believe he was unable to even get out of bed at one point of his life (you'll have to read the book to understand this).
Best $12 I've ever spent!
Best wishes to all!!!!!!!!

A truly original story!
1. Juli 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
What a brilliant book. Sad, funny, witty and full of lovable characters. If you read this with an open mind you will be howling with laughter by page 6. This is a beautiful story of everyday life pervaded by the timeless wisdom of the Buddha. Everyone needs a Geoff in their life. For anyone who likes truly original literature this short story of 282 pages is an absolute must read. Definitely a five star publication.
