Dalai Lama

The fourth volume of the Dalai Lama's definitive series on the path to awakening, Following in the Buddha's Footsteps, delves into the substance of spiritual practice. You'll first hear His Holiness's explanation of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; why they are reliable guides on the path; and how to relate to them.

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

Based on a lecture given by the Dalai Lama on the wisdom chapter of A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, this book comments on Tibetan Buddhist philosophy in a clear and direct way.

A simple and accessible guide for finding and embracing happiness from one of the spiritual giants of our time

The material in this volume is invaluable for those who sincerely wish to understand the Buddhist path and begin to follow it.  —Venerable Sangye Khadro, author of How to Meditate
