The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Stages of the Path, Volume 2

An Annotated Commentary on the Fifth Dalai Lama's Oral Transmission of Mañjusri

About this book

Central to Buddhism is knowing our own minds. Until we do, we are driven by unconscious, often destructive desire and aversion. The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Stages of the Path: An Annotated Commentary on the Fifth Dalai Lama's Oral Transmission of Mañjusri is the second volume of the Dalai Lama's outline of Buddhist theory and practice. Having introduced Buddhist ideas in the context of modern society in volume one, the Dalai Lama turns here to a traditional presentation of the complete path to enlightenment, from developing faith in the Dharma to attaining the highest wisdom. This book, compiled by the revered Tibetan lama Dagyab Rinpoché, comments on the Fifth Dalai Lama's stages of the path titled Oral Transmission of Mañjusri. The volume will appeal to all readers interested in the Dalai Lama's works, both those new to Buddhism and those looking to deepen their understanding of the Tibetan presentation of the Buddhist path.
