Product Description:
Seven one hour cassettes. Read by Jonathan Marosz.




Rating: - Truly inspiring!
I highly recommend this book to anyone. And in particular, anyone who's interested in higher ideals, love, brightness, clarity, wonderment, ecstacy... There's just so much of it in this book! The notion that people exercise at most 10% of their capabilities is well known in popular culture, but what's not is how to engage the rest of one's being. The author illuminates new ways of seeing life explained in clear, plain English that's fun to read and includes multiple techniques to free the mind ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent! Probably the Best Book on Buddhism ever Written
Yeah, this is so cool!

'Snowboarding to Nirvana' is a great book on the simple essence of Buddhism that is just right for our time. It is 100% accurate on the facts of Buddhism and what Buddhism is, totally excellent, bright, really funny, and very entertaining.

I read a lot of books on Buddhism, some are very complex and involved with deep concepts that are very difficult to understand, but nonetheless certainly worthwhile to do so because of the joy that comes from using ... Read More

Rating: - A great book, much deeper and well-researched than appears at first glance
I think it's too bad that Dr. Lenz' books receive reviews stating things like "this book has nothing to do with Buddhism" or "the author doesn't know much about Tibet". There are a few things in and about the book that I would like to point out to a potential reader:

What this book is not: this book is not for somebody who wants an introduction to Buddhism as it is commonly understood in the West today. That is, if you want a biography of Siddhartha Gautama and a laying out of the eightfold ... Read More

Rating: - If only I could choose ZERO stars
Speaking as a practicing Buddhist and a snowboarder, this book is a complete waste of time and precious trees. There are many fantastic books about real Buddhism out there that teach you the dharma and don't try to baffle you with mystical mumbo-jumbo, as this book does. Upon doing further research into the author, I was quite interested to learn that not only did he found a "Jim Jones" style cult of personality, but that he also was a drug user and evidently killed himself -- all things the real teachings ...

Rating: - Creative intro to Tantric Buddhism
I have studied Buddhism both academically and also through my own meditation practice for many years. I think this is a very creative and fun way to present the concepts of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Some of the reviews that criticize its presentation of Buddhism seem to be coming from the perspective of the more traditional or orthodox branches such as Hinayana or Theraveda, which focus on the 4 Noble Truths, etc. While these are part of Tantric Buddhism as well, the Tantric path is much more about shifting ...
