I did enjoy the book, though, especially the first part.I've lived and traveled in the Himilayan foothills of southern China.Reading the author's description of her familie's life style -- celebrations, marriage, story telling, being snowed in during winter -- made me want to go back and see more. A famous missionary doctor, Dr. Paul Brand, once said his ideal lifestyle, apart from a need for modern medicine, would be that of an Indian villager.This account of the Tibetan lifestyle, and my own travels through the minority areas of Yunnan Province, confirm how much that is human and natural we lose in our surrender to technology: rhythms of the seasons, traditions, the hard pleasure of sowing and reaping, and what it means to depend on family and community. The later part of the book is interesting sometimes, but is a bit like the story of a pawn who wanders onto a chessboard by mistake and gets moved around by both sides without quite knowing what is going on. Despite the quarrel below, there is little about what Westerners call Buddhism in this book.What most Asians call Buddhism is a mixture of polytheism, various superstitions, practical concern about evil spirits, and a cycle of annual festivals, with priests occupying a respected but mostly ceremonial position.One of the most surprising things about this very open and simple account is that the Dalai Lama's mother is allowed to speak as a typical Asian in this respect. In fact, there may be more about ghosts here than about the author's most famous son.Tsering blamed them for the loss of four of her children (out of sixteen), and did not seem embarrassed by the odd character of the stories she told.Her stories set me thinking.One of the foundational myths of Tibetan Buddhism is the tale of how the monk Phadmasambhava conquered the demons of Tibet, and having conquered them, put them to work for the forces of good.Tsering's experiences with ghosts might cause some to reconsider the relative merits of the "tolerant" Buddhist approach and the more confrontational Christian approach to powers and principalities.One also wonders, of course, what relationship these spirits bare to the diseases that marred the lifestyle of such peasants.

Editorial Review Product Description Throughout the book, the Dalai Lama emphasizes the importance of logicalanalysis of scriptures, even if theyare in the Buddha's own words; some teachings, he stresses, "should not betaken literally, but needinterpretation." And this is what he does in this clear and readablecommentary, originally given in 1989 and now translated and published for the first time. Its 10short chapters are on such familiarBuddhist themes as Training the Mind, Compassion, Identifying the Nature ofSuffering, and The Practice ofCalm Abiding. "Through meditation," says the Dalai Lama, "we can train our minds in sucha way that negative qualities areabandoned and positive qualities are generated and enhanced." Those whopractice meditation, whetherBuddhist or not, will find this a thoughtful and practical guide, writtenwith the Dalai Lama's characteristicwarmth and gentleness. --David V Barrett, Amazon.co.uk Customer Reviews (8)

Editorial Review Product Description The book's subject marks the eighth round in a series of ongoing meetings of the Mind Life Institute. The varied perspectives of science, philosophy, and Eastern and Western thought beautifully illustrate the symbiosis among the views, which are readily accessible despite their complexity. Among the book's many strengths is its organization, which allows readers to enjoy the entirefive-day seminar or choose sections that are most relevant to theirinterests, such as "Cultivating Emotional Balance," "The Neuroscience ofEmotion," "Encouraging Compassion," or "The Scientific Study ofConsciousness." But the real joy is in gaining an insider's view of theseextraordinary minds at work, especially that of the Dalai Lama, whosecuriosity, Socratic questioning, and humor ultimately serve as the linchpinfor the book's soaring intellectual discussion. --Silvana Tropea Customer Reviews (33)

Editorial Review Product Description The results?Not so fast.Like a scientist analyzing experimental data, Goldstein walks usthrough centuries of unending political struggle and battles ofconquest. He shows us that Tibet first came under Chinese suzeraintyduring the Mongolian era and then for almost 300 years during the Manchuera. For the most part, The Snow Lion and the Dragon succeedsas chronicle of the power plays of two governments vying for controlof Tibet. But when Goldstein speaks of the Chinese government, whatdoes he mean by "Chinese"?Does he mean the Mongols whenthey controlled the territory we call China and the Manchus when theydid?Were these legitimate Chinese governments? AlthoughGoldstein is sincere in his objective methods, many questions such asthese lurk behind the illusion objectivity. Ultimately, history isinterpretation, and without admitting this, Goldstein lures the readerinto a false sense of complacency. The Snow Lion and theDragon is a helpful historical summary for anyone who wonders howthe Tibet Question has played itself out from the beginning up until1997, but for an adequate examination of historical subtletiessurrounding the issue, we must continue to wait. --Brian Bruya Customer Reviews (16)

Editorial Review Product Description Their meeting captured headlines; the waiting list for tickets was nearly 2000 names long. If you were unable to attend, this book will take you there. Including both the papers given at the conference, and the animated discussion and debate that followed, The Dalai Lama at MIT reveals scientists and monks reaching across a cultural divide, to share insights, studies, and enduring questions. Is there any substance to monks’ claims that meditation can provide astonishing memories for words and images? Is there any neuroscientific evidence that meditation will help you pay attention, think better, control and even eliminate negative emotions? Are Buddhists right to make compassion a fundamental human emotion, and Western scientists wrong to have neglected it? The Dalai Lama at MIT shows scientists finding startling support for some Buddhist claims, Buddhists eager to participate in neuroscientific experiments, as well as misunderstandings and laughter. Those in white coats and those in orange robes agree that joining forces could bring new light to the study of human minds. Customer Reviews (2)

His Holiness's eloquence and understanding of compassion are great and vast as an ocean.I realized this while reading the book.It took me over two months' time to get to page 30, because I was determined on completely understanding and grasping the meanings of each page before I moved onto the next.I was also determined to apply each page's teachings into my life before I'd move onto the next.How wrong I was to think I would finish this book in a timely fashion. I would read a few pages, then set the book aside and contemplate on the teachings.I'd carry His Holiness's words in my heart and my mind as I went about my day's events.I'd go back to read the book, thinking I'd pick up where I left off.While skimming through the pages I had already read, I'd stop and notice that I realized something about a paragraph.How curious, I had already read it, but suddenly it was as if I were reading it again with fresh eyes, and I'd learn yet something else.Doing this again and again, it took me two months before finishing page 30.Then I'd look back on the past few months and realize I had basically changed into a much more patient and caring person. I started on this book a long while back, and I'm still discovering and rediscovering truths and revelations in His Holiness's simple words. The reason I provided the small anecdote is because this book can last you a lifetime if you apply His Holiness's teachings into your life.There is a lifetime's worth of lessons to be learned from the seemingly simple exterior of his teachings. This book basically starts us at the basics and teaches us the fundamentals of Buddhism.What is suffering?What is the cause of suffering?How do we overcome suffering?The Dalai Lama goes over the Four Noble Truths and the Three Poisons (ignorance, greed, hatred) in such a friendly, warm, simple and engaging manner that we can't help but sit there and listen.I felt as if I were a preschooler listening to my favorite teacher while reading this book, and truly, when reading this book with an open, receptive mind, you'll feel as if you're re-learning all the basics about everything.It's as if we've walked all our lives in a manner that has caused us to trip and fall constantly, and here His Holiness is giving us a guide that teaches us why we were walking incorrectly, why our previous way of walking would cause us to fall, and finally, how to practice walking correctly in a manner that won't cause us to fall and hurt ourselves. Usually, I review books and items pretty harshly.I'll point out descrepancies, things I didn't like, etc.I'm at a loss with this book.I've been a Buddhist for my entire life and after reading this book, I realized just how far from understanding I was.Don't be fooled by the deceptive simplicity of this book.It's one thing to read something and understand it, but in trying to apply it, this book will provide a lifetime's worth of lessons, knowledge, and understanding.It's as if the closer you come to accepting what the Dalai Lama always teaches -- compassion -- the more understanding you gain from the book that perhaps you never saw there before. This is a book, I feel, that anybody can read.All it does is offer insight into suffering, what causes us to suffer, and how we overcome suffering.It's not about His Holiness preaching on and on about the Dharma.It's about him taking the best of the Dharma and bringing it to you in a very reader-friendly format, coupled with his own explanations. I couldn't think of anything better.
