It is a daunting, but exciting task. In this time I have read many books on the subject. Some left me so confused I was ready to give up. The Buddha Within was a delight to read......clear, insightful, informative, humorous,but most of all it left me encouraged to continue practicing and ...             Ethics for the New Millennium84 reviews Dalai Lama Riverhead Trade, 2001 the Dalai Lama transcends factionalism, denominalism (sorry in advance) anyone who isn't moved by the kindness & compassion; the hopeful sayings of HH the Dalai Lama is either too cynical or not in touch with the needs of our complex/complicated 'society'.

I suggest anyone new to Buddhism and still confused read this ...             Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 1103 reviews Peter Kelder Doubleday, 1998 On a roll A couple of months ago, I met up with a friend who is quite a physical guy, but in the last 10 years, his age was catching up with him, as is mine, both of us just being over 60. While we were talking, I noticed how lovely and clear his skin was, with a glow to him. When we went outside, I saw he'd lost his bloat. He is a muscular solid guy, but like many of us, he had a fullness around his ...             When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times129 reviews Pema Chodron Shambhala, 2005 Pema Chodron Shines This book is written for those who don't necessarily indentify as Buddhists, and/or don't practice Buddhist doctrines.

She teaches in the tradition of the Shambhala Warrior, a path laid out by ...             The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving Kindness25 reviews Pema Chodron Shambhala, 2001 Very practical, accessible and well-written.... This is one of my favorite books by Pema Chodron. It not only does a very good job of describing the essence of Buddhism, but it goes beyond that in making Tibetan Buddhism more understandable and relevant to a Western audience without deveating from the tradition. In short, it contains the heart of the teachings of the Vajrayana. A nice complimentary book if you are interested in going deeper ...             Beyond the Great Wall: Recipes and Travels in the Other China13 reviews Jeffrey Alford, Naomi Duguid Artisan, 2008 The other side of the politics I have the book it is gorgeous and recipes are very interesting - different that anything else I have in my 300+ cookbook collection I have been having a debate with a Chinese American friend - which is relevant here: Tibetan and other minorities are resentful of Han Chinese success.

I attribute ...             The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying: The Spiritual Classic & International Bestseller; Revised and Updated ...98 reviews Sogyal Rinpoche, Patrick D. Gaffney, ...

This is one of the best books I have read. It deals directly with the issues in science (such as the big bang) and buddhist though. Much of the book show the innerconnection between buddhism and science. Being a scientist by trainning I am amazed at the understanding that the Dalai Lama has over some of the more complex issues in science. The Dalai Lama does a wonderful job explaining so that ...             The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep28 reviews Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche Snow Lion Publications, 1998 Ultimate Dreaming Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche presents Tibetan dream yoga in full detail, and most importantly, fully contextualizes its practice in the Dzogchen spiritual tradition.
