- My Thoughts:
- I enjoyed this more than The Trial. Honestly, it was an easier read for me and wasn’t as dry and dull as The Trial (but remember, I’ve established that I missed the point of that book ^^;).
- It was completely different from what I anticipated (something more recognizably philosophical and dreamy, almost) but I knew that it would be like that after reading The Trial.
- It’s Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path byDzigar Kongtrul

- Rating: 3.5 stars

- My Thoughts:
- This book contains a foreword, a preface, an author’s preface, acknowledgements, a supplication and an introduction. And then the book begins.
- While this book didn’t say anything I didn’t really already know, it put certain ideas into new words and helped refresh these ideas and make me think of them in a different way. That’s why I like reading these books on Buddhism, they help me think and focus on spirituality. By reading about it in my daily life, I remember to experience it in my daily life because I think so much about what I read.
