This is a ground-level, practice-oriented presentation of Tibetan
Buddhism—personal and very accessible. The book begins with the awakening of
students' interest in spirituality and the initial encounter with Tibetan
Buddhism, and then leads us through all the steps necessary for successful
practice in the West.
Included is succinct counsel on finding an appropriate teacher,
receiving empowerments, becoming active in a center, and launching and
sustaining a Vajrayana practice. Special emphasis is placed on the potential
pitfalls, and the marvelous benefits, of the guru-disciple relationship.
As Tibetan Buddhism extends its reach in the West, many practitioners
are making strong commitments to this path. The Vajrayana tradition still being
new to our culture, however, there remain significant gaps in Western students'
education and understanding.
These can lead to practical difficulties for new or intermediate
students. This book begins with the very awakening of students' interest in
spirituality and their initial encounter with Tibetan Buddhism and then leads
them through the steps necessary for successful practice in the West.
A Beginner's Guide to Tibetan Buddhism speaks powerfully and directly to the Western student who is working to
integrate this incredibly vast tradition into the realities of daily life.
Drawing on his many years of practice and teaching, the author skillfully
addresses obstacles, doubts, and confusions that every reader will recognize.
