Buddha Laughing: A Tricycle Book of Cartoons

By Wisdom Books and Tricycle Magazine

Book Overview

These eighty-five cartoons provide a hilarious perspective on everything from reincarnation to mindful--or perhaps mindless--ness. Over the centuries, Buddhism has offered the world a clear-eyed, down-to-earth approach to life and death. This irresistible little book of teachings is no exception. It demonstrates that wisdom can--and often should--be taught through humor. Buddha Laughing is a healthy recipe for lightening up, the path to true enlightenment.

Customer Reviews

a great treat for fellow yogis...

This is a very short cartoon book--one can easily enjoy the whole book in just a moment. But I recommend it. The cartoons are very witty, paradoxical, FUNNY and great for us serious yogis who need a laugh every once in a while...Or also great for friends/family/spouses of yogis who need to be validated!! it's a great little gift (for yourself?). Enjoy.

The best

The cure for those who take their spirituality too seriously. Like the laugh of the Dalai Lama, the cartoons uplift and enlighten and teach us to lighten up. Page 27 , the cartoon by Mari Gayatri-Stein, depicting two dogs at a Vipassana retreat, questioning whether they are at a zombie convention is precious and worth the price of the book!!!!
