THE BUDDHISM OF TIBETby H.H. the Dalai Lama, trans. & ed. by Jeffrey Hopkins.Unlike most books by the Dalai Lama which are edited compilations of talks that he has given, this book consists of two texts that he himself wrote and two that he chose--all especially aimed at helping Western readers become better grounded in Buddhism. He wrote The Buddhism of Tibet and The Key to the Middle Way sections to explain the principle topics and central practices of Buddhism. "The perfect book for someone seeking a first book on Tibetan Buddhism."--Quest Magazine H.H. the Dalai Lama is the spiritual and temporal leader of the Tibetan people and a Nobel Peace Laureate.
