"As someone with a topical understanding of Buddhism, I found [The] Symbolisms in Buddhism: As I Have Heard, written by Christine H. Huynh, MD, to be a highly informative text. In it she has communicated the fundamental precepts and teachings of Buddhism in an accessible style for the reader/listener; citing examples throughout which further aid in understanding. Historical facts regarding the Buddha's life; the outlining of The Dharma and The Eightfold Path, as well as references throughout citing the innate Buddha nature in each of us serve to promote a deeper understanding of Buddhism. Huynh uses humorous examples to juxtapose potentially dense topics, all of which result in a highly engaging and enlightening book."
