TIBETAN BUDDHISM FROM THE GROUND UP: A Practical Approach for Modern Life

B. Alan Wallace

Asking neither unquestioning faith nor blind obedience to abstract concepts or religious beliefs, this highly readable book challenges us to question and investigate life's issues for ourselves in the light of an ancient and effective approach to the sufferings and joys of the human condition.

"One of the most readable, accessible, and comprehensive introductions to Tibetan Buddhism."--Mandala

"A happy find for anyone seeking to incorporate Buddhist principles into spiritual practice."-- Napra ReVIEW

"Insightful. This practical book provides examples of how these ancient teachings can be applied in contemporary Western life."--The Beacon

"Presents Buddhism not as a competing faith but as a practical way of ethics by which to shape one's life."--The Reader's Review

B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D., has taught Buddhist meditation since 1976. Having devoted fourteen years to training as a Tibetan Buddhist monk, ordained by H.H. the Dalai Lama, he went on to earn an undergraduate degree in physics and the philosophy of science at Amherst College and a doctorate in religious studies at Stanford University. With this background, he brings unique experience and skills to the challenge of seeking ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices and Western science to advance the study of the mind. He is the founder and president of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies (www.sbinstitute.com) and is a prolific writer on Tibetan Buddhism and the interface between Buddhism and the cognitive sciences.
