This is an excellent book that covers not just eastern philosophies, but western in the pursuit of enlightenment and I think all Jedis should read it.
I think that this book would greatly aid our community. We place the idea of being a Jedi on such a high pedestal that too many see it as being the end of the road versus the beginning. Same with enlightenment--people do not realize that enlightenment is not only for the really pure, once in a lifetime time of people. This book brings it down to earth. Once you reach that stage, you must continue to interact with others and the rest of society. And how do you do that?
You can find this book at amazon.com here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0553378295/104-3726513-0627152?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance
Again, can't recommend this book enough. It will make people rethink their ideas on enlightenment and what it means to be a Jedi.
