Did not inspire me

[Felice D. · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is from live teaching and is difficult to follow . The speeches look confusing and the message got lost at least if you don’t know much about Buddhism and wanted an introduction.

[Justin Oliver · Rating 3 out of 5]

BLUF: Book details the essence of bodichitta and Tantra. Good for someone wanting to learn about core pieces of Tibetan Buddhism for free through Google Play. Not enough to practice.

Not sure where to put this because it's not enough info to do much with unless you've read other books but if you read other books then this book just repeats two major concepts in a different way. As stated, It is helpful for those who want to get more information beyond a Wikipedia article but don't want to spend the money. It's free through the Google Play store.

Very much an introduction, but doesn't really explain much, in a clear way, about the aspects of which it refers to.

Insightful

[Andreea Paine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recommend reading it more than once, its valuable insight releases with a deeper understanding each time you pick it back up.

This little book manages to cover the key ideas of Gelugpa

[Neil Crowle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another series of teachings by Lama Yeshe, and was clear and not too hard to grasp.

very clear and sweet introduction to tibetan buddhism. Yeshe's style also really resonates with me :)

Awesome read

[Carl · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first part of this small book is the transcription of Lama Yeshe covering for an ill his holiness the Dalai Lama at a conference in France. It is exceptional in its clarity and humor.

The second part is a bit more complex but still very well written.

The folks at the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) make this book available as part of the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. This is quite wonderful: you can read for free online or if you prefer paper, you can obtain several of their books for free (paying only shipping) as part of your quest to understand more about the practice of Buddhism. This book is part of the Wisdom Archive's starter pack and imho is the way to go.

A wonderful teaching from Lama Yeshe on how we can become freed from the illusion of separatness in order to benefit other sentient beings. He gives an excellent discussion of the three basic aspects of the path and also a short introduction to tantra.

[Jeanne Lambrianou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great for serious beginner meditators

Lama Yeshe teaches simply the heart of meditation. I will give this to all my students. May all sentient beings be free from suffering and the root of suffering.

Very good, had the feeling of a lecture. broken into bite sized bits it made it super easy to read here and there. Just wish it was longer!

[Stephen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful text with a great humor and process of explanations through metaphor. These lectures do much to invigorate the spirit and provoke the mind.

[Stacy Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best book on Buddhism I've read.
