This book is the result of years of painstaking work by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and his student, the Buddhist nun Tubten Chodron. The work is devoted to a practical description of the stages of the path and awakening, and it is meant to dispel the many erroneous ideas about Buddhism that exist among many of today’s contemporaries.
Any Buddhist teachings and traditions have their roots in the very Buddha, and therefore they cannot be false. The authors explain how these teachings and ideas can be applied in practice to achieve liberation and true awakening.
The book is read by the editor of the Russian-language edition, Shramanera Lobsang Tenpa.
