"The heart of the Buddha's Teachings" by Thich Nhat Hanh.
On a side note, my philosophy teacher is overly biased, and he upsets me. He is more interested in his opinion than in the pursuit of knowledge. Its funny because he asked us something like how can there be a God when little children are suffering. So I said, "Maybe suffering is the key to enlightenment, cause only through cessation of it will you find inner peace." Then he said, "How about children." And I said we are all connected, one person's suffering is inevitably linked to another's. But if you believe this is not our only life, then the events that unfold seem somewhat irrelevant. He ignored me from that point on.
