EMPTY BLUE PLANET TRILOGY: Three Essays on Buddhist Philosophy

by Charlie Singer, fore. by Ven. Lama Pema Wangdak

This brief distillation of basic doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism includes a presentation of the Four Noble Truths (the Four Reflections that turn the mind to dharma), bodhicitta, emptiness, the nature of mind, and Dzogchen. The doctrine of no-self is difficult to penetrate yet liberating in its effect when properly understood. Through study, reflection, and meditation on the no-self or empty nature of beings and things we attain the transcendent wisdom of the Prajanaparamita, and come to an understanding of things as they are. He also explores the nature of human embodiment and the apparitional nature of the world with Buddha-nature as the common thread.

Charlie Singer, a blues musician and long time student of Tibetan Buddhism, writes in a way that is clear and engaging without being overly academic.
