在这本书中，Steve Hagen 用平易近人的文字——看似极度平易——阐释了 Zen Buddhism 的精髓。每天哪怕只读一页也绝不算少。读者应当让这些文字沉淀于心，而不是像读小说那样急于一页接一页地翻阅。

我买的是那个未更新增补的版本，写得太棒了。《Buddhism Plain and Simple》也非常赞 http://www.amazon.com/Buddhism-Plain-Simple-Steve-Hagen/dp/0...
I have the un-updated-and-expanded edition, and it is excellent. So is Buddhism Plain and Simple http://www.amazon.com/Buddhism-Plain-Simple-Steve-Hagen/dp/0...
我很喜欢的一本书是 Steve Hagen 写的《Buddhism Plain and Simple》。它非常成功地避开了所有文化繁文缛节和神秘主义色彩，单纯介绍了佛教的核心思想（而且正如 Hagen 指出的，它甚至都算不上是一种“主义”）。
A book that liked a lot is "Buddhism Plain and Simple", by Steve Hagen. It manages well to steer clear of all cultural trappings and mysticism and just gives an introduction into the core ideas of Buddhism (which as Hagen points out isn't even an -ism).
我强烈推荐 Steve Hagen 的《Buddhism Plain & Simple》。比起佛教修行，它更多讲的是冥想/觉察，所以别太被书名劝退。另外我也非常喜欢《10% Happier》，比起说明书，它更像是一个实用的故事。顺便说句，冥想绝不是“什么都不想”——这是大家对它最大的误解。把它看作……对我一直很有帮助
I strongly recommend "Buddhism Plain & Simple" by Steve Hagen. It's much more meditation / awareness than Buddhist practice, so don't worry much about the title. I also really enjoyed "10% Happier" which was way more of a practical story vs. instruction manual. In general, meditation is NOT about "not thinking" - a major misconception about the practice. It's always helped me to view it less as a
……冥想。这是一项对抗性运动，跟举铁没什么两样。除此之外，我会推荐《10% Happier》，它非常务实且不涉及宗教信仰，很适合新手。其次，我会推荐《Buddhism Plain And Simple》（Steve Hagen 著）。你不需要信佛，也不需要把它当成一种哲学去钻研，就能从书中关于心智运作机制的内容里吸取极大的价值。
…meditation. This is a contact sport. No different from weight training. Beyond that, I would recommend "10% Happier" as it is very pragmatic and belief agnostic. Good for newcomers. Next, I'd recommend "Buddhism Plain And Simple" (Steve Hagen). You do not need to follow Buddhism or have any intention to engage with it as a philosophy to wring a ton of value from the book re: how the mind works.
……但说真的，你还不如直接说“睡吧！明天醒过来！”，“然后呢？”。我不知道这事有没有‘标准答案’，但你可以参考一下佛学视角的观点（我很喜欢 Anthony De Mello 的《Awareness》、Steve Hagen 的《Buddhism Plain and Simple》以及 Eckhart Tolle 的《The Power of Now》）。你可能会觉得它们有点新纪元神棍（new agey）或者成功学鸡汤味，但你既然都在琢磨死亡了，读点这种书也没啥好怕的……
…But really, you may as well say "Sleep! Wake up tomorrow!", "Then what?". I don't know if there is 'an answer', but you could consider the Buddhist style views (I liked Awareness by Anthony De Mello, Buddhism Plain and Simple by Steve Hagen and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. You might say they're a bit new agey or self helpey, but you're contemplating death so it's not like you've got a lot to fear from reading something…
……哲学是我接触过的所有不同信息源的大杂烩。对我影响最大的包括 mustachian 思想圈（MMM、《The Magic of Thinking Big》、斯多葛主义）、世俗化的西方佛学（《Buddhism Plain and Simple》、《In the realm of hungry ghosts》、《The magic of tidying up》）以及博弈论概率思维（打德扑的背景）。刚开始读 MMM 时，我的阵营意识还非常强，总是‘我们 vs 他们’的心态……
…philosophy is a combination of all the different sources I have been exposed too. My main influences would be the mustachian thought sphere (MMM, The Magic of Thinking Big, Stoicism), secular western buddhism (Buddhism Plain and Simple, In the realm of hungry ghosts, The magic of tidying up) Game theory probabilistic thinking (Poker background). When I first started reading MMM I was already a very tribal person. The us vs them mentality…
