Lighting the Way by H.H. Dalai Lama
Collections: Books, The Dalai Lama
Weight: 8.8 oz
This concise book by His Holiness the Dalai Lama offers an accessible introduction to traditional Tibetan Buddhist thought and practice. It begins with an exploration of the Four Noble Truths, laying the foundation for understanding the Buddha's teachings on addressing suffering and cultivating happiness.
The book then provides practical commentaries on two essential Buddhist texts: The Eight Verses on Mind Training and Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment. His Holiness explains how these teachings guide us in transforming negative mental states and developing compassion, love, and a correct understanding of reality.
With clear and relatable language, the Dalai Lama makes these core Buddhist principles approachable for Western readers, making this book an excellent starting point for anyone interested in authentic Tibetan Buddhism. The translation by Geshe Thupten Jinpa further enhances the clarity and accessibility of the teachings.
