Buddhism For Sheep

This small, playful gift book imagines a flock of sheep taking up the study of Buddhism. Its tone recalls Yoga for Cats, with a light, tongue-in-cheek approach to a serious subject. Readers will find the sheep working to focus their attention and moving steadily along the path toward enlightenment, all presented as a cheerful joke rather than a manual.

Because it is aimed at general readers who enjoy gentle satire of spiritual practice, it makes an offbeat present for anyone curious about Buddhism or for a friend who appreciates a quirky laugh.
