It's up to you The practice of self-reflection on the Buddhist path

Kongtrul is not only the son of a respected Buddhist teacher in northern India but also has been acclaimed as an incarnation of Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, a leading light of 19th-century Buddhism. His latest book addresses questions of some subtlety in a highly accessible manner. Buddhist thought, Kongtrul asserts, necessarily focuses on the "self"-"not the ego `self' but the true nature of all sentient beings." Once the movement from ego to "true nature" is made, we become free to act in the world. An immensely enjoyable little volume on some basics of Buddhist spirituality, this is recommended for all collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
