The Buddha Walks Into a Bar . . . A Guide to Life for a New Generation

A young, New York-based Buddhist teacher, Rinzler is able to take a relaxed, colloquial approach to meditation and its many benefits because he s so well-versed in Shambhala and Tibetan Buddhism. With examples ranging from superheroes to YouTube videos, Rinzler brings timeless teachings to the buzz of now in an engaging, richly instructive, genuinely illuminating spiritual guide. Booklist

Don t let Rinzler s youthful exuberance fool you. The kid knows his stuff. Tricycle

This volume is far beyond a compilation of Rinzler s columns or prior work; it is a genuine introduction to living a Buddhist life without immersion in Buddhism s more esoteric practices. Library Journal

Light-hearted, contemporary, and at times hilarious, Rinzler s book is addictively easy to read. Nexus

Enjoyable, engaging, and inspiring. I loved the book and think it s a great introductory read for a younger person who would like to know more about Buddhism, or just life in general.
