Description

Back cover: This is the first volume in the Wisdom of Tibet series published under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This series is unique in that each volume has been chosen by the Dalai Lama as revealing a true oral tradition. This first volume was written, in two parts, by the Dalai Lama himself specially for readers in the West. In it he explains simply and clearly: -the basic tenets and practices of the buddhism of Tibet -the relationship of Tibetan Buddhism to Hinayana -the meaning and aspirations of Mahayana -the profound theory of 'emptiness' -the key to meditation and tranquillity This book by the Dalai Lama is both beautiful and revealing in that it covers both the practice and wisdom of Buddhism and is inspired directly by the living oral tradition of Tibet.
