Comprension de la Mente: Naturaleza y funciones de la Mente5 reviews
Gueshe Kelsang Gyatso
Tharpa Publications, 1999
For the unafraid
This is a book for those unafraid to look into their minds, those who seek to know what is unknowable for most people. If it isn't unknowable then it is surely never contemplated. The"mind" is shown for what it is with such clarity. Not a single nuance is overlooked...Western psychology is light years behind as it heals the splits, soothes the rips and mends the tears of existence. One sees ...

best book on Buddhism as a spiritual practice
This book is ideal for Buddhist practitioners at any level. It is precious because it gives the reader invaluable practical guidance along the Buddhist path. It is written for people who want to deepen their experience of Buddhism beyond intellectual understanding alone. I would highly recommend it to all readers interested in "transforming their lives" in a meaningful way.

A Meditation Handbook9 reviews
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Tharpa Publications, 1990
THE VERY BEST BOOK ON MEDITATION!!
The Lamrim is the "Graduated Path to Enlightenment." It is a total map of the Buddhist Path. And it is distilled, without any loss of flavor or potency, into these 21 meditations. I completed these meditations in 1997. I made more progress than I ever had in any spiritual or psychological program. So I naturally started to do the meditations for a second 21-days. I treated my family as ...

Life is like a dream
The bullets for this book say things like Are things as solid and real as they appear? Realize the truth behind appearances. Discover the dream-like nature of our world. Cultivate the wisdom that liberates the mind. I couldn't resist reading the book after this, and I was not even slightly let down - the author delivers answers. It requires careful reading, but is well worth the effort - showing ...

Joyful Path of Good Fortune: The Complete Buddhist Path to Enlightenment 15 reviews
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Tharpa Publications, 2005
Reading the Lam Rim
There are a number of Lam Rim texts available. For those who do not study Vajrayana Buddhism, this might be confusing. It is said that the historical Buddha (aka Lord Buddha Shakyamuni) gave 84,000 teachings. They were given to different people at different times, and were focused on where that person or people were in their process, and what those particular person/s needed to know in next step ...

Tharpa Publications, 1991
If I could give one piece of advice to one starting the path
....it would be not to neglect the preliminary practices for as long as I did. After years of meditation without preliminaries, I can say with certainty that meditation combined with the prayers & visualizations in this book has been far more effective.
If you're uncomfortable with chanted prayers, then by all means don't push. But if you're ready to gain deep, lasting and stable experience of ...

Thought provoking
This little book imparts a whole lot of wisdom. I began reading this feeling completely overwhelmed by issues in my life. As I continued to read it, I actually felt myself really relaxing and my spirits lifting. I just felt better and like weights were being lifted off my shoulders. I don't practice Buddhism and so there were a few parts I read and thought "Whoa! That is really out there." ...

[Review Update] After Experiencing their Cult
I should have posted this UPDATED review a long time ago in 2004.
Like any spiritual seeker I was reading many different spiritual books, and Gyatso's books seemed genuine to me as I love the teachings of BUDDHA.
In a nutshell, I joined their "meditation" group and went further to be trained as a teacher. What happened is SHOCKING.
They informed me that I could NOT write my own ...
