A Path To Enlightenment Lookshelf
1) Who are you and where are you?
Andy. Canterbury, UK.
2) What do you do for work?
I am a biologist but unemployed due to chronic illness.
3) What do you do for fun?
I grow things.
4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.
They were a birthday gift and, in addition to containing my Buddhist tomes, are also home to a number of books on British prehistory, Scottish folktales and spiritual philosophy.
5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.
A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment was written by the Indian Buddhist master Atisha Dipamkarashrijnana in the 11th century and is the foundation stone upon which the whole of Tibetan Buddhism rests. Almost a millennium later, his words still ring true.

Wow. Have you read all those tomes? You must be the most enlightened being I have ever *met*. :-) Have you read the Tao of Piglet? Very Important Work.
