Mod, the book is "Zen in 10 simple lessons" by Anthony Man-Tu Lee and David Weiss

It literally fell off a shelf and onto my head at a bookstore one evening so I bought it.



Gratzz - Buddhism does believe in heaven. Several in fact.

Buddhists do go to heaven if their practice is skillful, and to hell if it's unskilful.

There was a book published in 1997 called... Buddhist Cosmology, Philosophy and Origins, by Akira Sadakata, Kosei Publications. It goes into a very detailed explanation of the various heavens and hells.

Buddhism has a best heaven. Everything is just the way you want it to be. In this heaven, there is no reason to change anything. You are ultimately happy. The problem is that it's not permanent, as is everything in Buddhism.
