Description

This book presents the Buddhist view of the mind and meditation. Buddhism teaches that enlightenment is our natural state; the problem is that we do not recognise this state, owing to the mind's confusion about its true nature. Thinley Norbu's aim is to clear up such confusion and awaken the reader's innate wisdom. Norbu is a distinguished teacher of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

Reviews
