Description

This survey of Tibetan Buddhism - the history, philosophy and meditation practices - is presented by a leading Western scholar and long-time practitioner. INDESTRUCTIBLE TRUTH is one of the most thorough introductions to the Tibetan Buddhist worldview ever published. At the same time, it is also one of the most accessible and enjoyable to read. The author presents complex and sophisticated teachings and practices in non-technical language, using engaging stories and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points.

Reviews

"Ray presents the material so that Westerners can assimilate and use it. He doesn't shy away from explaining difficult concepts, offering an approachable text that doesn't talk down to the reader." Library Journal


"A rich and rewarding read." The Middle Way
