Open Heart, Clear Mind by Thubten Chodron
You will not find a better introduction into the world of Buddhism than this book. Thubten Chodron does a phenomenal job simply explaining complex concepts in language that the beginner can understand. Her prose style is easy yet full of wonderful metaphor. Her ability to discuss reincarnation, karma, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path to enlightenment in clear and compelling writing is an incredible accomplishment. And those wanting to learn about Buddhism would do well to heed her words. (Capsule review here.)
