Description: "In life, it's important to have a destination. Then you need a ride. Our Buddhist cab driver guides us safely down the sometimes slippery Dharma Road, pointing out the Buddhist landmarks along the way--the four noble truths, precepts, and eightfold path--before taking a hard left for a coffee break and a quick lesson in patience. Dharma Road is street-level Zen for people who live in the real-world, those of us stuck in traffic worrying about the details--making the rent, meeting our deadlines, craving the latest smartphone--too busy to notice the light hitting the motor oil on the wet pavement creating a rainbow."--P. [4] of cover.

 "An introduction to Buddhism, Zen, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path."
