Quote:
What is a good starter book to get into Buddhism?
I DON’T KNOW. I LIKE READING THE DALAI LAMA’S BOOKS. BUT I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND JUMPING IN TOO DEEP. IF YOU ARE CURIOUS WHAT IT IS ABOUT THEN TAKE A LOOK. I GUESS IT’S GOOD TO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT I DON’T THINK THAT BUDDHISM IS FOR EVERYONE. DIFFERENT STROKES…….
DON’T GET ME WRONG, BUDDHISM MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME, I AM NOT TRYING TO DOWNPLAY THE VALIDITY OR IMPORTANCE OF IT, BUT I JUST GET UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN PEOPLE START ACTING LIKE THEIR RELIGION OR WAY OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD IS THE BEST WAY, OR THE ONLY WAY, AND THEY START PUSHING IT ON PEOPLE. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT SO SOME THINGS ARE BETTER FOR SOME PEOPLE.

So, yeah, this is a good quote to sum up his personality.
