His Holiness the Dalai Lama presents the perfect introduction to traditional Tibetan Buddhist thought and practice, covering the Four Noble Truths and two essential texts. There is no one more suited to introduce beginners—and remind seasoned practitioners—of the fundamentals of Tibetan Buddhism than His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Speaking to an audience of Western students, the Dalai Lama shows us how to apply basic Buddhist principles to our day-to-day lives. Starting with the very foundation of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths, he provides the framework for understanding the Buddha’s first teachings on suffering, happiness, and peace. He follows with commentary on two of Buddhism’s most profound texts: The Eight Verses on Training the Mind and Atisha’s Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, often referring to the former as one of his main sources of inspiration for the practice of compassion. With clear, accessible language and the familiar sense of humor that infuses nearly all of his work, the Dalai Lama invites us all to develop innermost awareness, a proper understanding of the nature of reality, and heartfelt compassion for all beings. This book was previously published under the title Lighting the Way.

This down-to-earth account of the origin and history of Buddhism in Tibet explains the essentials of the tradition and can act as the starting point for our own noble journey.

After publishing over twenty books -- mostly translations of Buddhist texts -- Prof. Jeffrey Hopkins felt compelled to write a personal account of Buddhism and its practices. In The Tantric Distinction, the ideas, concepts and methods of Buddhism are "confronted and allowed to resonate with (his) own character." Hopkins has the ability to clarify complicated ideas and bring them to life. He cuts through the theories of Buddhism and brings them vividly into the realm of experience. Explaining emptiness, gurus, meditation, the cherishing of others, and the Bodhisattva ideal, Hopkins shows how the mind is addicted to the lies that the senses tell it, and describes the process of cutting through this craziness Buddhists call 'cyclic existence.'
