Ilustration During Books Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries

Buddha was a revolutionary. His practice was subversive; his message, seditious. His enlightened point of view went against the norms of his day—in his words, "against the stream." His teachings changed the world, and now they can change you too.

Presenting the basics of Buddhism with personal anecdotes, exercises, and guided meditations, bestselling author Noah Levine guides the reader along a spiritual path that has led to freedom from suffering and has saved lives for 2,500 years. Levine should know. Buddhist meditation saved him from a life of addiction and crime. He went on to counsel and teach countless others the Buddhist way to freedom, and here he shares those life-changing lessons with you. Read and awaken to a new and better life.

Article About Books Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries
This one is definitely staying in my collection for good. Although this is nothing like Levine's Dharma Punx, he still has quite a way with words that makes the basics of Buddhism quite simple. Most of this book is made up of drawn out explanations, and then in the final chapter he sums them each up as far as down to a sentence each.If you don't understand the basics after reading this, it's worth a second read. I am going to read it again myself, since it's a great refresher whether you're new

A good while ago a former student recommended this book to me. I logged it in the back of my mind, but have been into Brad Warners writing of late. (He is another Buddhist author). I thought I had finished all of Warners books, and purchased it. It sat on my shelf with other books I purchased and intend to read for a couple of months. Then a few clients and colleagues, in an act of interesting synchronicity, started talking about Refuge Recovery. (Refuge Recovery is a program of Buddhist based

Spells out the basic teaching of the Buddha in easy to understand form

I found this book practical and accessible. I plan on keeping it in frequent rotation.

I had read this book before as well as Noah's first book Dharma Punx. It's a good basics book for those interested in Buddhism or need an alternate take on the teachings. He talks and writes in a voice that the "troubled youth" can relate too.

I know people who identify as Dharma Punxs and wondered where that started. So I was interested in getting Noah Levine's spin. I am glad he turned to Buddhist since it helped him climb out of a deep pit he put himself in (see his brief review outlined in this book or his memoir). And I think he has created another space for disenfranchised people to hear the Dharma. That said, I was disappointed with this book on several levels. I give it two stars since the first chunk does cover the basics.

Picked this up because the author was giving a lecture in town and I figured I'd get more out of it if I read the book first. The talk was better, but that's not to say the book was bad. The marriage of punk-rock aesthetic with Buddhist philosophy was unique enough to pique my interest, though it borders on cheesy at times (calling "Sid's" early followers his "homeless homeys", for instance). There are probably better books out there that delve more seriously into the history and philosophy (but
