Joyful Path is a clearly written manual on beginning, maintaining, and completing the Mahayana Buddhist path to enlightenment. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has done a great service to westerners in writing this profound volume. For the right reader this book is pure gold.

No es el libro que leí XDD pero da igual. Leí “El Sendero Budista” de Khenpo Phuntzok Tenzin Rinpoche.

Muy interesante, mi mente occidental flipa y reniega…

While I've finished reading, this is a lifelong journey of understanding all the impacts of this life transforming way of living and serving. It's one of my faves!!

Mind-blowing. It truly is a complete buddhist path to what I assume to be enlightenment. The book is extremely organized with a beautiful balance between technique/practice and antedote/lesson. It's a lifetime of work, so best get started now. It is a religious book and so if you have a problem with going for refuge in the buddha, dharma, and sangha, it might not be for you.

This is a very educational book, with helpful diagrams and eloquent analyses of complex Buddhist principles which deepens an understanding of the dharma. It does provide clear instructions on how to apply the dharma in our own lives in a way that makes the book timeless. It will be beneficial for many generations to come.

A perfect guide to the Kadampa path of Buddhism. I really enjoyed reading this. At 600+ pages it's a weighty tome, but a must, in today's insane society. Self-control, self-transformation, and the growth of good qualities, are seemingly modern trends but ones that all originate in Buddhism. Highly recommended reading. Namaste. @theyorkshirebuddha23 on Instagram 🙏

This one took me a while, needed to slow down more and stopped to make more connections than I normally do now that I'm adding on what I hear during a class and in learning from other practitioners and teachers.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has written a lovely commentary to the works of Je Tsongkhapa. Even though I've finished the book, I will be returning again and again while on the path.

I am not sure what the word "Path" means. There is nothing like path in the American mindset. Maybe the closest thing to "Path" here is "Catechism", being that I was raised Catholic, this book gives me that impression. So it makes more sense for me, and hopefully for others, to interpret the sub-title alternatively as the "Complete Catechism for Buddhists." But actually for a particular set of Buddhists involved in the New Kadampa Tradition, which I would consider it a new branch of the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism since this is the same teachings given by the Dalai Lama except he uses his own sources. But essentially the book originates from the master work of Lama Je Tsongkapa.

Anyway, I liked studying it under our Foundation Program, and I fault myself for not continuing to study it further. Actually I cheat by listening to the audio version.
Compassion,

This is probably a very good book for people wishing to re-affirm their beliefs or establish a context for their already budding spirituality. As a non-Buddhist I found it to be reasonably informative and definitely well written, but ultimately it has the same pitfalls as most "Religious" books written by a member of that Religion in that it does feel rather pushy and evangelical, but then maybe that's the point.

The sub-title is The Complete Buddhist Path to Enlightenment, so I think I will be reading it for quite a while...

blimey I am loving this one!

This is the text for the current class at the Vajrayana Meditation Center in Oak Park. Typically, it takes about 3 years to complete, so this is a long-term commitment.

[Jools Rennie]

Read this book once on my own and enjoyed it,
now I'm reading it has part of a class and it's even better an easier to understand when you can discuss it with other like minded Buddhists.

Very clear and practical explanation of the Lamrim, the stages of the path to enlightenment. Indispensable.
