From Here to Enlightenment: An Introduction to Tsong-kha-pa's Classic Text the Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment [J0177]

2012 - HCDJ Excellent condition. In 2008, celebrating the long-awaited completion of the English-language translation of The Great Treatise , the Dalai Lama gave a historic six-day teaching at Lehigh University to explain the meaning of this classic text and to underscore its importance. It is the longest teaching that he has ever given to Westerners on just one text, and Westerners have never before had the opportunity to receive such a complete teaching that encompasses the totality of the Buddhist path from the Dalai Lama. From Here to Enlightenment makes the teachings from this momentous event available for a wider audience.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The best introduction to Buddhist thought I have read so far, hearing the thoughts of the Dalai Lama is very eye opening and highlights how Buddhist thinking aligns so closely with many already established ideals in the worlds largest religions."; "Super detailed while being very accessible. HH Dalai Lama is a great teacher."; "Contemplation, enlightenment, insight, and states of consciousness through following the spiritual path of Buddhism are all discussed in this easily navigable book. A practical and straightforward way of referencing the ways we can move toward becoming more fully aligned through the vision of the Buddha."
