AN INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHISM - DALAI LAMA XIV KA...

The "Core Teachings of the Dalai Lama" series begins with this small book of teachings by His
Holiness  the perfect introduction to traditional Tibetan Buddhist thought and practice.  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.
