The Way to Freedom. Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The Way to Freedom. Tibetan Buddhism. by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
The Way to Freedom. Tibetan Buddhism. by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

A thoughtful and calming overview.

This hardcover book was published about 25 years ago, and I believe it is long out of print, but it's worthwhile to seek out a used copy (or a republished paperback).





""The Way to Freedom" begins with the Dalai Lama's gentle and profoundly eloquent exposition of the Buddha's teachings and instructions presented in easy-to-understand steps. With unprecedented simplicity and beauty, he reveals the essence of Tibetan Buddhism to both novice and advanced students/practitioners. He also offers elegant, straightforward reflections on death, rebirth, karma, the Four Noble Truths and the cultivation of bodhisattva ideals and deeds: generosity, ethics, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom."

Dalai Lama Quotes. Portrait by Travis Simpkins

"Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." -Dalai Lama
