Dalai Lama

This is the most informative and thorough book on Dzogchen available. These teachings are on Dzogchen, the heart essence of the ancient Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Exploring this esoteric subject in print for the first time, His Holiness offers the reader insights into one of Buddhism's most profound systems of meditation.

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.

Learn from the Dalai Lama the three steps to awakening: 1) renunciation, 2) the awakening mind, and 3) emptiness.

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
