Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker.<br><br>The radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping Buddhas. In <b>Awakening the Buddha Within,</b> Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and balanced life. It illuminates the guidelines and key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism:<br><br>Wisdom Training: Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding -- seeing reality and ourselves as we really are.<br>Ethics Training: Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do.<br>Meditation Training: Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment.<br><br>With lively stories, meditations, and spiritual practices, <b>Awakening the Buddha Within</b> is an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of Buddhism alike.
