Product Description

Product Description
A guide to the basic steps of enlightenment, demonstrating how to practise morality, meditation and wisdom, while simultaneously delving deeper into the Dalai Lama's more general teachings, his spirit and sense of humour. His Holiness provides guidance on mental calm, altruism and compassion, refraining from harm and focusing the mind. The book is intended for use as part of daily practice, is easy to understand and filled with anecdotes.

About the Author
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. Today, he lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of the Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

4.0 out of 5 stars A guide for the seeker already on the path, 15 Oct 2003
Like most of the books the Dalai Lama has authored, this book serves as an introduction to the buddhist religious path. To really proceed in your quest for enlightenment, you need a living master -in person. However, this is a good substitute because it takes you by the hand and gives you a real nice overview.
This book is an attempt to clarify the sometimes complex Tibetan approach to Buddhism with its wonderfully simple structure, centered around the three tenets held by all Buddhists, morality, meditation and wisdom. In the morality chapter the Dalai Lama explains why a selfish attitude can't bring real satisfaction in life. He speaks about suffering and dying, and then gives a very special meditation on the actual process of dying.
Essential buddhist meditations are explained, and even the tantric deity mediations are not excluded here. In all, a wonderful book, which is not really suited for absolute beginners ("Open Heart" is an option for you), but more for the spiritual seeker who is already on the path but in need of guidance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Starting the path to enlightenment, 5 April 2006
By J. Little (Cornwall, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very good if (in this life) you are starting your journey to enlightenment, it offers real guidance, especially in the way it's been laid out, begining with the basic premisses of morality and perception, leading on to meditation, and later discusing wisdom and teaching. The Dalia Lama introduces steps one can implement before a buddhisttva can give personal guidance. I don,t have a personal teacher as yet, so find this book exceptionally helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to be a Buddhist, 27 Aug 2007
By Keith Lawson (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A book that is meaningful to anyone, regardless of faith or spiritual beliefs. HH The Dalai Lama is one of the great teachers and anyone can benefit from a study of this book and its techniques. An answer to a stressful world.
