Tibetans call their cherished tradition of Buddhism a
"wish-fulfilling jewel tree" for its power to generate
bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its
teachings. This path to enlightenment, it is taught,
requires more than a sitting meditation practice alone.
With The Jewel Tree of Tibet, honored scholar and
teacher Robert Thurman brings these insights to you as
they were meant to be transmitted, through the spoken
word.
As a young seeker almost 40 years ago, Thurman first
journeyed to Dharamsala, where he became the first
Westerner ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Now,
Thurman guides you lucidly through the unifying
principles of Tibetan Buddhism's many branches. You will
discover Tibetan Buddhism's detailed map of the "bliss
state of enlightenment", the principles of tantra for
opening the doors to "infinite compassion and
continuity", and how to overcome the dangers of the
spiritual quest to discover states of consciousness that
transcend even death.
Finally, here is Robert Thurman on audio, offering a
rich and intellectually riveting retreat program,
complete with many specific meditations and spiritual
practices to fully immerse you in the mysteries of
The Jewel Tree of Tibet. More than nine hours of
compelling study with one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest
teachers.
