<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Just as scientists observe and catalog the material world, Buddhists for centuries have been observing and cataloging the components of the human psyche. Addressing both the nature of the human mind and how humans know what they know, Buddhist psychology offers a rich and subtle knowledge of the inner experience. Here, Buddhism's unique, time-tested way of viewing the mind is explained so that followers of Tibetan Buddhism can understand their anger and aversion, and develop equanimity, patience, and love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This new volume from the <i>Foundation of Buddhist Thought</i> series, provides a stand-alone and systematic - but accessible - entry into how Buddhism understands the mind. Geshe Tashi, an English-speaking Tibetan monk who lives in London, was trained from boyhood in a traditional Tibetan monastery and is adept in communicating this classical training to a modern Western audience. <p/><i>Buddhist Psychology</i> addresses both the nature of the mind and how we know what we know. Just as scientists observe and catalog the material world, Buddhists for centuries have been observing and cataloging the components of inner experience. The result is a rich and subtle knowledge that can be harnessed to the goal of increasing human well being.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A user's manual for the human psyche! Geshe Tashi Tsering is great at making difficult material accessible. <i>Buddhist Psychology</i> provides kind and practical guidance for analyzing and transforming your mind.--Lorne Ladner, author of The Lost Art of Compassion<br><br>Although coming from a traditional Gelugpa presentation of the Buddhist path, these books are written for a modern western audience, and therefore 'happiness' is presented as a principle goal, alongside the more traditional goal of enlightenment. The author's personal tone and his fluent language, combined with his obvious mastery of the material help to make the series a tremendously valuable resource for the study of basic Buddhist teachings from a Tibetan perspective.-- "Buddhadharma"<br><br>Here, Buddhism's unique, time-tested way of viewing the mind is explained so that followers can understand their anger and aversion and develop equanimity, patience, and love.-- "Eastern Horizon"<br><br>With this series of books drawn from his highly successful courses, Geshe Tashi's insights can be enjoyed by a wide audience of both specialists and newcomers to the Buddhist tradition. His presentations, never divorced from the basic humanity and warmth of his personality, combine rigor and accessibility.--Thupten Jinpa, principal translator for the Dalai Lama and director of the Institute of Tibetan Classics<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Geshe Tashi Tsering was born in Tibet in 1958 and received his Geshe Lharampa degree (similar to a doctorate in divinity) from Sera Monastery in India in 1987.
