Book description
In this comprehensive book, Lama Surya Das provides a bridge between
East and West, past, present and future, making sacred and profound
Tibetan teachings clear and easily accessible for anyone who wants to
lead a more enlightened and sane life.
Utilizing the unique Buddhist guidelines embodied in the Noble Eight
Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings of Virtue,
Meditation and Wisdom, he elucidates the tried and true path of
spiritual transformation - including key principles such as karma,
rebirth and mind-training, as well as the highest, most secret
teaching of Tibet, Dzogchen. In this wonderful marriage of the
practical and the profound, Lama Surya Das reveals how sacred wisdom
can be integrated into our busy lives. He offers a unique approach to
the comprehensive wisdom of ancient Tibetan teachings on conscious
living and dying and shows that the power of the Buddha is resting
within us all.
Drawing on Buddhist spirituality and wisdom, this is a view of the
world written for Western seekers.
A voice of clarity in difficult times, Surya Das offers timeless
wisdom in a message of hope that is helpful for us today and tomorrow. A
lama in the Dzogchen lineage of Tibet, Surya Das is a sought-after
spiritual teacher and meditation master, poet and spokesperson for the
emerging American Buddhist movement. Founder of the Dzogchen Center, he
is also the author of several popular books, including AWAKENING THE
BUDDHA WITHIN, AWAKENING TO THE SACRED, and AWAKENING THE BUDDHIST
HEART, the first trilogy of Buddhism for the West. He is a regular
contributor to a number of magazines and is a founder and board member
