<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition offers the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker--"a warm, accessible, deep, and brilliantly written exploration and adventure along the Buddhist path" (Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker.</b> <p/>The radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping Buddhas. In <i>Awakening the Buddha Within, </i> Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and balanced life. It illuminates the guidelines and key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism: <p/><b>Wisdom Training: </b>Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding--seeing reality and ourselves as we really are. <p/><b>Ethics Training: </b>Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do. <p/><b>Meditation Training: </b>Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment. <p/>With lively stories, meditations, and spiritual practices, <i>Awakening the Buddha Within</i> is an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of Buddhism alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A warm, accessible, deep, brilliantly written exploration and adventure along the Buddhist path." --Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. <p/>"[T]his is a great achievement and I feel deeply grateful for it."<br>--Thich Nhat Hanh, author of <b>Living Buddha, Living Christ</b> <p/>"This open-hearted offering of the Buddha's teachings ranges from fundamentals to magic.
