In this wonderful guide, respected teacher Ken McLeod deconstructs Tibetan
Buddhism to make it a path accessible to the Western reader.
With abundant anecdotal and illustrative material, he addresses a vast number of
teachings, from the Four Noble Truths, through death and impermanence meditations,
karma, mind training, and insight practices. Especially engaging and relevant to
Western readers are the sections on dismantling attachment to conventional success
and working with reactive emotions (anger, greed, desire, jealousy, and pride).
The key to being fully alive and joyful in our lives, McLeod writes, is developing our
natural capacity for attention and being fully present here and now. In this guide - which
is a true encyclopedia - on practical Buddhism you will discover:
pleasure and power, and with one's own ego.
