The Essence of Tibetan Buddhism

Lama Yeshe presents Tibetan Buddhism as a living path of mind training, compassion, and realization rather than as an abstract set of doctrines. The book is significant for its accessible presentation of Tibetan Buddhist ideas to Western audiences, and readers will find practical guidance on meditation, motivation, and the purpose of spiritual practice.
