OPEN HEART, CLEAR MINDby Thubten Chodron, foreword by His Holiness the Dalai LamaThis practical introduction to Buddhism focuses on the application of Buddhist psychology to modern life. Thubten Chodron, an American Buddhist nun, presents the basic points of this path for understanding ourselves and improving the quality of our lives. In a straightforward style and with warmth and humor, Chodron gives us the fundamental points of the Buddha's teaching on transforming habitual attitudes and realizing our full human potential.

I am sure this book will achieve this and that it will prove helpful to general readers, especially those who have little previous acquaintance with Buddhism."—His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from the Foreword "...presents a clear and complete survey of the teachings of the Buddha.
