Буддизм. Один учитель, много традиций

“Imagine if our Teacher — the Buddha — appeared on our planet today. Would he be pleased with this situation? All of us, spiritual children of the Buddha, speak of our love for our common 'parent' — but almost never communicate with our brothers and sisters,” says the Dalai Lama. The main goal of this book, written by His Holiness and his student, Buddhist nun Thubten Chodron, is to help the followers of the Buddha learn more about each other and eliminate centuries-old misconceptions about one another. The book can also serve as an excellent resource in personal practice — both for moral self-discipline and various types of Buddhist meditation. The book is addressed not only to Buddhists: to benefit from the fruits that meditation practice brings, it is not necessary to be a Buddhist, the Dalai Lama is convinced.
