Beautiful Introduction to Buddhism. 10 Stars!

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso always writes with such wonderful compassion, and shares in his joy to reach and awaken humanity. "Buddha" means "awakened" and that is just what this wonderful book will guide you towards on your path, and bring you closer to the loving compassion and right mindfulness that will clear up and clarify so much for you.

I take the teachings into my heart, mind and soul where true "AHA" moments of newfound enlightenment transform prior suffering into a state of being "awakened." Just as each drop in a bucket will fill that bucket, each drop of heartfelt right thought and action, detachment, and compassion for oneself and all of humanity will transform your life.

Gyatso's teachings are genuine, and you will find yourself coming that much closer to being awakened when you allow your heart to open fully, and give understanding and compassion.
The teachings are simple and profound. They are pure and potent. They are eternal and everlasting in their truth, and in the positive impact they bring to humanity by bringing genuine heartfelt understandings of exactly HOW Buddha became "awakened."
I HIGHLY recommend this book, along with "Transform Your Life: A Blissful Journey" "The New Meditation Handbook" and "Universal Compassion" all by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
I hope they have the immeasurable impact on your life that they have had on mine.

Good primer for Tibetan Buddhism

Read very concisely and clearly, this is a good introduction to the basics of Mahayana Buddhism - and Buddhism in general. While lacking the congeniality of, say, Jack Kornfield, this intro thoroughly covers many aspects of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, etc. Recommended for beginners serious about exploring the Buddhist path.

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHISM OUT THERE!

Geshe Kelsang Gyasto's book An Introduction to Buddhism, distills all the basic, essential components of Buddhist thought and philosophy into a short, concise, clear, easy to read text that leaves the reader wanting to find out more about these beautiful teachings!

The importance of meditation can never be emphasized enough and Geshe Kelsang writes WHY meditation is ESSENTIAL to be able to experience true happiness. He also explains clearly why we experience so much mental suffering and how we can reduce the stress in our life and be proactive in our lives rather than always reacting, many times in negative ways. This information is so important, especially in this day and age when our lives seem more busy and more complicated than ever!

I have read this book many times and am constantly amazed at how each time I read it, the teachings impact me in a different way. I believe this is because Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes in such a manner that beginners get a strong foundation of the basic principles of Buddhist thought and philosophy, and more advanced practitioners get a deeper insight into the inner workings of some of the more challenging aspects of the philosophy like the ultimate nature of reality, the true nature of suffering, karma, and the function of the mind and the role it plays in our experience of the world.

I recommend this book both to beginners and those who have more experience studying Buddhist thought and philosophy. It is a precious text that is extremely helpful in improving our meditation practice and our daily lives.
