An interesting interpretation of the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha, taking an alternative view to 'accepted' Buddhist tradition. Brazier argues that the Buddha did not say that enlightenment meant the end of suffering, but rather that suffering is noble and is part of an enlightened life (trust me, Brazier does a better job of explaining than me!) An interesting juxtaposition of psychology and Buddhist thought, this book would be an interesting read for Buddhist practitioners of various traditions. ( )
