Opening the Eye of New Awareness

Rating:
Summary: A significant and valued contribution to Buddhist Studies.
Review: Opening The Eye Of New Awareness was written by the Dalai Lama in 1963, four years after his escape from Tibet and the communist Chinese. Opening The Eye Of New Awareness was written for both Tibetan lay people and westerners, and provides a basic summation of Buddhist doctrines and practices as they were practiced in Tibet for more than a thousand years. Opening The Eye Of New Awareness is a very highly recommended work of Buddhist scholarship, wisdom, and compassion. This Wisdom Publications edition is enhanced with a new introduction by Professor Donald Lopez which provides valuable insight into the historical and philosophical context of His Holiness' writings.
