In a way, going through this book is like going from kindergarten to a grad school of self-knowledge and compassion. The exercises and explanations are clear. The stories are beautiful. This book can be read and used as part of a larger curriculum or can be browsed. It can be studied in solitude, or with a class, or with family or friends. However it is encountered, by teens or by grown-up seekers, it will offer wisdom." --Alicia Ostriker, author of Waiting for the Light, "Reading Candradasa's book, I wished I had this kind of skillful resource when I was growing up and trying to make sense of myself and the world. Every teenager, whatever body or circumstance, could benefit. Fundamentally encouraging, it is a practical and creative guide for teenagers and those who live with them. Progressive meditations, stories, and reflections build up positive emotion and offer enormously wise ways of taking care of the world." --Dhammamegha, publishing director, Windhorse Publications and Buddhist practitioner, "Buddhism for Teens is a modern, direct take on ancient practices. Stripping off the years of history and gloss, Candradasa goes to the heart of practical Buddhism for life, presenting the fundamentals of ethics, training, meditation, compassion, and loving kindness. Through graduated activities, think points, and traditional Buddhist stories, he offers useful tools to direct and support young adults. The past is respected, but the contemporary path is paramount: this is Buddhism as experience." --Nicolas Soames, founder of Dharma Audiobooks, "Buddhism for Teens is like having a wise, gentle, nonjudgmental elder guiding readers step by step from being trapped in circles of repetition to riding spirals of growth.
