Also consider these LitLovers discussion pointers to get you started with Breakfast with Buddha:

1. The big question, of course, is what does Otto Ringling come to learn—what are the spiritual insights he gains—and when does he begin to learn things? What's the turning point? How is his life changed by this spiritual journey?

2. Talk about the book's humor.

3. Pick out several passages which you found profound...which made you sit up and take notice...and discuss them. 

4. Do you see yourself in Otto?
