Awakening the Buddha Within : Eight Steps to Enlightenment: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World

Awakening the Buddha Within will be definitive--the first real audiobook of Western Buddhism, explaining American and Western Buddhism not only from the heart, but also from the ground up. Awakening the Buddha Within will cover the traditional Three Trainings for Enlightenment: Ethics, Meditation, and Wisdom, and includes all the major concepts of Tibetan Buddhism from the Eight Steps to Enlightenment to the Six Principles of Enlightened Living, and sets them in the context of our Western lives and experiences. As few people today are able to spend countless hours in meditation and in direct instruction from master to disciple, Lama Surya Das takes what he knows of these traditional teachings, and shows how this wisdom can be integrated into life here and now, in homes and marriages, relationships, with family, and on the job. For new and experienced seekers, Awakening the Buddha Within will help them lead more inner-directed, spiritual lives, and it will teach listeners how to integrate this spirituality into everything they do, day to day.
