Summary
Ed is having a hard time - at work, in his love life and, well, generally. Then he meets an unlikely Buddhist - who drinks and smokes and talks his kind of language. Bit by bit, things begin to change...Ed doesn't always take Geoff's advice.
Or, when he does he lapses at the crucial moment. His path to understanding is not a straight one, especially as life keeps throwing more and more 'stuff' at him. Often he fails - like most of us, in fact.But sometimes he manages to get it right. And when he does, surprising things begin to happen ...In The Buddha, Geoff and Me Edward Canfor-Dumas brings all his skills to bear in an absorbing story of everyday city life, where the characters stand out with all their human strengths and weaknesses, and the ending brings Ed - and perhaps all of us? - a hope we didn't necessarily expect.The Buddha, Geoff and Me - for anyone who's ever begun to wonder what the whole damn thing is all about.

brilliant
If you are interested in Buddhism then this is a great easy listening read.Some texts can be heavy but Edward explains the Lotus Sutra brilliantly in an alternative manner through a very clever story whilst the sort of questions you want to ask get asked as part of the storyline.

excellent
Some great buddhist concepts in a way that is easily to absorb, down to earth and meaningful. This novels contains great nuggets of wisdom and whilst not mentioned directly, is based on Japanese Nichiren Buddhism. A must read for anyone who has a humanistic and compassionate take on living.

The Most Important Book Of My Entire Life
If you let it, this book, this story, the lessons and the engaging characters within will change your life and for the better.
Follow Ed, Geoff, Dora, Piers and the others through the ups and downs of life and on towards enlightenment.
It also contains The Meaning Of Life, which turns out to be as simple or as complicated as you yourself make it.
Life's wonderful, Death's wonderful, it's all 'effin wonderful.
Namaste 🙏🏻

A moving account of one man's spiritual journey.
This book was recommended to me and it took me ages to start it.....really not my type of story.....but now I'm so glad I did.
The story and characters are enormously engaging. Until close to the end of the book the author describes himself in a very disparaging way, a sort of depressive cynic, but along the way he meets amazing people who help him to view life in a different way.
This is not a 'heavy' book to read. It's sad and funny and inspiring. I recommend it to anyone who is going through a difficult time and can't see a way through it or anyone who just enjoys a heart warming story.

Loved this.
Engaging, funny, poignant, thought-provoking. Lots of British humour. After listening to many other books about Buddhism, this was refreshingly down-to-earth in its delivery - both the writing itself and the narration. Can't wait to read/listen to the follow-up book.
