Ten Suggested Buddhist Readings

Ten Suggested Buddhist Readings
Artists, writers, and photographers have been influenced by Eastern philosophy for centuries. One could argue that Henri Cartier Bresson’s famous coinage, The Decisive Moment, is the quintessential essence of Zen philosophy.

“To take a photograph means to recognize — simultaneously and within a fraction of a second — both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived form and meaning….
This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry.”
~Henri Cartier Bresson~

My husband Glenn, who is an English teacher and meditation instructor, has provided a list of his top ten Buddhist books with handy links.
1) Wild Awakening by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche


2) Mind Beyond Death by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche


3) It’s Up to You, by Dzigar Kongrul


4) Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki


5) Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism byChogyam Trungpa Rinpoche


6) Myth of Freedom by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche


7) The Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche


8) The Jewel Ornament of Liberation by Gampopa


9) The Essential of Mahamudra by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche


10) Comfortable With Uncertainty by Pema Chodron
