The Heart of the Buddha: Entering the Tibetan Buddhist Path

The Heart of the Buddha: Entering the Tibetan Buddhist Path (Shambhala Classics)

In The Heart of the Buddha, the Tibetan meditation master ChÃ¶gyam Trungpa presents the basic teachings of Buddhism as they relate to everyday life. The book is divided into three parts. In â€œPersonal Journey,â€ the author discusses the open, inquisitive, and good-humored qualities of the â€œheart of the Buddha,â€ an â€œenlightened geneâ€ that everyone possesses. In â€œStages on the Path,â€ he presents the three vehiclesâ€”Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayanaâ€”that carry the Buddhist practitioner toward enlightenment. In â€œWorking with Others,â€ he describes the direct application of Buddhist teachings to topics as varied as relationships, drinking, children, and money. The Heart of the Buddha reflects Trungpaâ€™s great appreciation for Western culture and deep understanding of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, which enabled him to teach Westerners in an effective, contemporary way.
