Path to Enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism

by Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden

Enlightenment is the ultimate development of the potential of our mind, a state of peace and bliss that can be of great benefit to oneself and others. Drawing from the sutras and great Buddhist classics, Path to Enlightenment combines the intellectual rigor of Tibetan scholars with a clear and easy to understand presentation of the progressive stages of spiritual development. It covers the full breadth and depth of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy with clear explanations of how to put it into practice. Path to Enlightenment is an anthology of Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden’s teachings drawn primarily from Je Tsong Khapa’s Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path and Phabongkha Rinpoche’s Liberation in the Palm of your Hand. It also includes a translation and explanation of the Mind Training in Seven Points by Geshe Chekawa and a complete presentation of the Bodhisattva vows. Path to Enlightenment includes full color plates, 26 line drawings, a comprehensive English, Tibetan and Sanskrit glossary, a page numbered outline and an 82 page appendix of quotations. 'The book will go a long way towards making the essential instructions of Tibetan Buddhism accessible to a wider readership…' – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

I read this in the mid 90s. From what I recall it was a very helpful and inspiring book at the time bar one homophobic sentence contained with it it.
