WHAT MAKES YOU NOT A BUDDHIST, by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

WHAT MAKES YOU NOT A BUDDHIST

by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

With wit and irony, Khyentse urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism--beyond the romance with beads, incense, or exotic robes--straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught. And after he explains what makes you not a Buddhist, he kindly explains what a Buddhist is. The author is one of the most creative and innovative young Tibetan lamas teaching today.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, director of the films The Cup and Travellers and Magicians, presents this interesting book to challenge readers to understand what it really means to be a Buddhist, and cuts straight to the inner core of the tradition. Now in paper.
