It can be seen at Amazon here.
I am personally very glad that Wisdom is the publisher, because they have a good relationship with Google and they will likely offer it online in Google books as you can see from the video below.

Good morning, friends. I appreciate having this opportunity given by the Buddha.
I’ll talk about “Right View” from the Eightfold Path, focusing on its practical application to my own life.
Right View is the first practice of the Eightfold Path which teaches us how to live our daily lives rightly based on the Buddha’s wisdom.

In Buddhism, all beings are born with a past.
The Buddha too was born, on this day, with a past.
In early Buddhism, the Buddha's past was thought to be many lifetimes of being a Bodhisattva.
Even as a Bodhisattva, he had been born with a past.
His past then, prior to being a Bodhisattva, was many lives as a deluded and suffering sentient RKK Youthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13286349945675101819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607606364952682038.post-20779995394567482152008-04-13T03:05:00.005+09:002008-04-26T20:56:46.026+09:002008 International Hana-matsuri
The IBC observed "International Hanamatsuri" or the Buddha's birthday celebration at RKK's former headquarters in Tokyo on Sunday April 13.
This festival is known as "Flower Festival" suggesting the flower-filled Lumbini Garden, where Shakyamuni was born in the foothills of the Himalayas more than 2.500 years ago.

According to Mahayana Buddhism - All sentient beings have Buddha-nature
Dr. Ziporyn offered 5 interpretations of Buddha-Nature, from shallow to profoud:
