{"product_id":"essential-tibetan-buddhism","title":"Essential Tibetan Buddhism","description":"Robert Thurman expertly and lucidly surveys the basic teachings and varieties of Tibetan Buddhism. A concise summary of Buddhism's development across Asia, with particular emphasis on its evolution in Tibet, provides a vital orientation, but the core of this much-needed volume is the first-ever collection of key Tibetan teachings on Buddhism and attaining enlightenment. Here are all the essential texts, freshly the hymns to Tara, the liberator goddess; the riddle-like songs of Milarepa, the wandering poet-saint of the Himalayas; instructions for living the compassionate Bodhisattva Way of Life; selections from The Tibetan Book of the Dead; and more.Excerpts from rarely published tantric practice texts complement Geshe Chaykawa's Seven Point Mind Training and selections from Nagarjuna's Five Stages. Master teachers from all the major schools - Longchempa, Nagarjuna, Shantideva, Atisha, and Tsong Khapa - speak to the modern reader, providing advice on how to integrate Tibetan Buddhism into daily life.Further enhanced by explanatory notes and a bibliography designed to serve as an introductory course, Essential Tibetan Buddhism is a unique guide to this rich spiritual tradition, invaluable to newcomers and seasoned students alike.","brand":"Thryft x Books for Charity","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":39431265583185,"sku":"BQ7604","price":11.81,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":39431265615953,"sku":"BQ7604","price":9.45,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39431265648721,"sku":"BQ7604","price":8.51,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":39431265681489,"sku":"BQ7604","price":7.56,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/1623389.jpg?v=1717779631","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/essential-tibetan-buddhism","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
