Enlightenment to Go: the Classic Buddhist Path of Compassion and Transformation David Michie Unabridged edition

For the past thirty years the Dalai Lama has consistently recommended Shantideva?s A Guide to the Bodhisattva?s Way of Life as essential reading for those interested in applying Buddhist philosophy to daily life. In Enlightenment to Go, David Michie provides a lively and accessible guide to ?the best of? Shantideva. Sharing his enthusiasm for Shantideva?s radical insights, life-changing psychological tools and transcendent wisdom, he draws on a wide variety of scientific sources ? from mindfulness training to cognitive behaviour therapy, from neuropsychology to quantum physics ? to show how Shantideva?s Guide is as relevant as ever. Whether you are a newcomer to Buddhism or a seasoned practitioner, Enlightenment to Go offers a glimpse of a radiantly different reality ? and a beautiful illumination of why the Dalai Lama recommends Shantideva?s Guide above all others. "The compassionate wisdom of Shantideva is brought alive in this practical and helpful guide." ? Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Tibetan Buddhist nun
