The Way to Freedom: Core Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism

Rating:
Summary: Hey, it's the Dalai Lama...
Review: Anything written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is worth reading. You don't have to be Buddhist, heck, in fact, you can be an atheist and still find guidance and solace in the words of the DL.

If I had to claim an organized religion, it would be Buddhism, but, as it is, I am a Lincolnite (When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion. --Abraham Lincoln). So, since Lincoln's theological writings are limited, I find guidance for my existance through Buddhist philosophy.

If you're a Westerner who just can't handle the liturgy and Christ-centeredness of our Country, then try anything by the Dalai Lama.

Summary: Rich in Wisdom and Powerfully Compassionate
Review: I read this book at a time of crisis in my life and it was as if it had been written just for me! As someone who has had a strong interest in religious philosophy all my life and who has been particularly interested in Buddhism, I found in this book, the wisdom and the compassion I needed to confirm my own path toward personal freedom. A good antidote to the cynicism and adversarialism surrounding us. I think I'll read it again!

Summary: In the path to a happier and more fulfilling life
Review: Tenzin Gyatso provides a clear and compassionate introduction to the Mahayana school of Buddhism. The book is practical, yet contains sufficient information about the basic teachings of the Buddha. A valuable introduction by H.H. - written in his usual kind and compassionate style, which is so reflective of the manifestation of the Bodhisattva Chenrezig. A valuable guide and fine addition to most any library.
