Buddhism for Dudes: A Jarhead's Field Guide to Mindfulness

Author Gerry “Strib” Stribling was born into a military family and served in the Marines in the 1960s and 1970s. Thus he is able to explain the fine points of Buddhism to "dudes" and jarheads without adding too much sentimentalism. Strib includes what we know about Buddha, information on meditation, how to keep good karma, and emphasizes the Buddhist call to moral action for the good of oneself and others. Highlighting the Buddhist bold approach to life’s problems and likening it to soldiers' direct behaviors, Strib has penned Buddhist basic training camp, available for everyone.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
