Five Stars: This fundamental anthology is vital for practicing and aspiring Buddhists
Amazon Review By Midwest Book Review 8/10/2005
Lighting The Way presents three fundamental Buddhist teachings offered by the Dalai Lama to Western students. "Principles of Buddhism" offers basic insight to understanding the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha Shakyamuni, upon which all other teachings are based. "Teachings on the Eight Verses on Training the Mind" gives commentary on a classic text of Tibetan spiritual writing known as "lojong", or mind training. And the Dalai Lama's words concerning Atisha's "Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" discusses one of the most crucial texts to a serious practitioner of Buddhism. This fundamental anthology is vital for practicing and aspiring Buddhists, as well as scholars of Buddhism striving to better understand a centuries-old faith in a modern-day context. Highly recommended, especially for library Buddhist Studies collections.
