Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the
Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western
Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker.
The
radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that
each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the
Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping
Buddhas. In Awakening the Buddha Within,
Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in
order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and
balanced life. It illuminates the guidelines and
key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the
traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all
schools of Buddhism:
Wisdom Training: Developing
clear vision, insight, and inner understanding -- seeing
reality and ourselves as we really are. Ethics Training:
Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what
we say and do. Meditation Training: Practicing
mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present
moment.
With lively stories, meditations, and
spiritual practices, Awakening the Buddha Within is
an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of
Buddhism alike.
