Review by Booklist Review

Tell Me Something about Buddhism does just that in easy-to-understand terms that outline the basics of Buddhist practice. For the curious or for beginners, this slim book is a wonderful guide. The author's roots, which are African American Christian, make her personal narrative of coming to Buddhist practice compelling. In telling her story, Manuel offers touching examples of her heart opening with forgiveness and self-acceptance, and her charcoal drawings warmly illustrate the informative question-and-answer format. This is both practical as a handy manual for those wanting convenient reference and captivating for anyone interested in Buddhism.--DeGrane, Susan Copyright 2010 Booklist
