In chapter 14 of The Wee Free Men Roland visits Tiffany and attempts an apology for everyone assuming that he saved her when it was actually the reverse. She warns him that when he&#039;s Baron she&#039;ll be watching and he says, nicely that she shouldn&#039;t talk to him like that, so she demonstrates her</description>

        <description>This morning

This morning I had an odd experience.  I was reading Awake and brushing my teeth and was very chill and my mind was quiet. I finished and rinsed and walked a few feet to the towel to dry my face and as I did that it felt like I wasn&#039;t doing it. I noticed the odd sensation and the thought</description>

        <description>Noble Eightfold Path

	&quot; 1. Right view: We begin by accepting the postulates laid out in the Four Noble Truths, in order to gain proper understanding of the mission before us.
 
 2. Right intention: We then strongly commit ourselves to Awakening. Usually, this aspect also involves a commitment to avoid dwelling in anger or committing acts of violence.</description>

	*  There is suffering.

	*  There is an end to suffering.

Subtitle: A Guide to the 20 Most Important Buddhist Ideas for the Curious and Skeptical

First, let&#039;s add a clarification to say that this book talks about the ideas of Buddhist religion. I do not consider religious Buddhism to be Buddhism, which is a philosophy. That said, they do have a lot of overlap so even though the book is about the religion we can still learn things from it.</description>

I think this is one of the best summaries of Buddhist philosophy that I&#039;ve seen. It cuts straight to the core beliefs in one sentence and plain English. 

Interestingly it turns out to be Buddhism&#039;s Three Marks of Existence.

	*  Buddhism is not a religion, it&#039;s a philosophy, a framework for looking at life.
	*  Why is it the best one? There isn&#039;t a best one, get stupid ideas like that out of your head. It&#039;s a useful one in that it leads to less suffering. 
	*  Meaning less of the suffering we inflict on ourselves and the suffering we inflict on others.</description>
