       Summary : The book contain nine questions about the Buddhism that  the writer want to know and thought that other people want to know too such as 'What is the dharma?', 'Why we have to had ritual?', 'Is The Buddha real?' and much more.  Then invited nine well-known monks, who had expert in explain dharma, answer their question and make them clearly understanding.

       Social Context : Nowadays, many Buddhists are misunderstanding about the Buddhism.  They know only the basic things that Buddhist must to know and still believe that it is the real doctrine from the Buddha.  So, the writers expect that this book will make Buddhist and peoples, who are never interest in Buddhism, will get more understanding of the real concept of the Buddhism.

       Writing Style : It's not a dharma book so don't worry about the language.  The book use simple language and tell the story in easy understanding style.  The writers divide the book into nine chapters for the nine well-known monks.  For each chapter, it will contain about 3-4 simple questions but straightforwardly and  the clearly answers from the monk.  So, you will absolutely get the point from each part easily.

       My Thoughts : I'm the one who’s always believe that the Buddha is real but after I saw this book I’m very interested.  This book completely changed my mind about the Buddhism that I used to know.  It makes me, who is a Buddhist, realized that I misunderstanding about the real concept of the Buddhism for a long time.  The things that I’ve known from this book are not only the answer of the question 'Is The Buddha real?' but also the real concept of the Buddhism.  

       

       Now, it’s your turn to prove it.  If you are Thai or Buddhist, don't let yourself misunderstanding about your religion.   Open your mind to know exactly about the real Buddhism.  Anyway, feel free to ask if you have any question of this book, I'll do my best to answer all of your questions.  Thanks for reading and sharing your comment, see you next book ;)
