Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generations short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote, and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You dont need to be a Buddhist to find the Buddhas teachings motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Dont try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are." So whether its Mother Teresas acts of charity, Gandhis perseverance, or your aunt Bettys calm demeanor, as long as youre motivated to be better today than you were yesterday, it doesnt matter who inspires you. Regardless of religion, geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good you feel good, and if you do bad you feel bad. Buddhism isnt just about meditating. Its about rolling up your sleeves to relieve some of the suffering in the world. If you are ready to be a soldier of peace in the army of love, welcome to Buddhist Boot Camp.
