Another great buddhist book if youre a punk is "Sit down and shut up" by Brad Warner. That book made me study/ practice Zen Buddhism.

I *know* a Buddhist punk, but I don't think his buddhism and his punk are intimately entwined.

I guess we could talk about the Israel/Palestine issue more...

Hardcore Zen and Sit Down and Shut Up by Brad Warner are great books that helped me get into Buddhism, they're great if you're a punk rocker

I think its good thi8ng. I am more into spiritual practice where I based it on the things I learned from native americans. but being meditation and believing in something and praying are good things no matter what path you choose.
