Opening the Eye of New Awareness is a succinct, thorough overview of the doctrines of Buddhism as they have been practiced for a thousand years in Tibet. The Dalai Lama here discusses the need for religious practice and the importance of kindness and compassion. Originally written for Tibetan lay people, this was the Dalai Lama's first book on Buddhist philosophy to appear in English, and Prof. Lopez's new introduction places these teachings in their proper historical context. This is an invaluable handbook for both personal use and academic study of the Buddhist path. "Written for both Tibetan and Western readers, Opening the Eye of New Awareness is the Dalai Lama's first religious work. It is not an edited transcript of public lectures, but is His Holliness' own summation of Buddhist doctrine and practice. Completed in 1963, just four years after his escape from Tibet and four years after completing his religious education, it is a work of consummate scholarship by a twenty-seven year-old geshe, wise beyond his years. Nowhere in his many subsequent works does one find a more clear and concise exposition of the essentials of Buddhist thought. Indeed, all of His Holinesss's many publications are in some sense commentaries on this first book. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

"Aside from these minor differences, these religious systems, in fact, are the same in that their main and final object of achievement is the state of buddahood. They are also the same in terms of the stages of practice that serve as the means for achieving buddahood in that they do not differ with respect to: practicing a union of sutra and mantra, the inseparability of the three special trainings [in ethics, meditative stabilization, and wisdom]..., and having a view that does not pass beyond the four seals that certify a Buddhist system:
"1. All products are impermanent.
"2. All contaminated things are miserable.
"3. All phenomena are empty and selfless.
"4. Nirvana is peace." pg. 107
"All beings are equal in that they want happiness and do not want suffering. This does not apply merely to us humans of higher intelligence; all, even dumb and obscure creatures, from the tiniest insect on up, only want happiness and do not want even a little suffering. Therefore, everyone, ourselves and others, must find a method to cause happiness to arise and to keep suffering from arising. Without such a method, it is impossible for happiness to arise and for suffering to be eliminated merely by waiting with the great hope, 'How nice it would be if I had happiness and did not have suffering!' Consequently, we must establish the causes from which happiness arises and abandon the bases of the arising of suffering." pp. 31-2
