About this listen

A real-world guide to the seemingly other-worldly tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Millions outside of Asia become curious about Tibetan Buddhism through hearing and being touched by the words of the Dalai Lama, reading a book about Tibet, seeing images, or watching films.

Many who are curious about Buddhist ideas eventually find themselves reaching a point where they are exposed to aspects of Tibetan Buddhism but are unsure what participating in the tradition and its practices entails. In this warm, candid, and practical guide from a longtime practitioner, Bruce Newman offers guidance on the role of a teacher and finding one that is a good match, a clear explanation of what initiation means, how to approach practice in community, and a comprehensive outline of Tibetan Buddhist practices done both on and off the cushion. Special emphasis is placed on the potential pitfalls—and the marvelous benefits—of the guru-disciple relationship.

Worth much more than one star

This is a thorough overview of the Tibetan Buddhist path and provides a nice roadmap for understanding other books by people like Trungpa and Kyentse. It’s not great literature but I liked it.
