How to See Yourself As You Really Are by Dalai Lama XIV
Nick's review
rating:
I studied a bit about Buddhism back towards the end of high school and the early part of college
but my ego was too hard to shake then, and it's even harder now.
Not sure I understood all of the concepts, but then again who is there to understand it?
; )
This book really raised a lot of questions for me.
I'm wondering about the 'purpose of life' could be in the confines of this philosophy,
and other things of the sort....
Alas need to organize my thoughts a bit better before I start seeking answers.
There is a great degree of repetition. I wonder if Mr. Lama or his translator could have abbreviated a bit more to, you know, save paper... The whole appendix could have basically been put as 'reread chapters # & ##'
