Few teachers in the West possess both the spiritual training and
the scholarship to lead us along the path to enlightenment. Robert
Thurman is one such teacher. Now, in his first experiential course
on the essentials of Tibetan Buddhism, adapted and expanded from a
popular retreat he led, Thurman -- the first Westerner ordained by
His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself -- shares the centuries-old
wisdom of a highly valued method of insight used by the great
Tibetan masters.
Tibetans think of their cherished tradition of Buddhism as a
"wish-fulfilling jewel tree" for its power to generate bliss and
enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. Happiness, in
fact, is the true goal of Tibetan spirituality, and the
wish-fulfilling jewel tree will enable you to reach that goal.
Using a revered, once-secret text of a seventeenth-century Tibetan
master, with thorough explanations for contemporary Westerners,
"The Jewel Tree of Tibet" immerses you fully in the mysteries of
Tibetan spiritual wisdom. A retreat in book form as well as a
spiritual and philosophical teaching, "The Jewel Tree of Tibet"
offers a practical system of understanding yourself and the world,
of developing your learning and thought processes, and of gaining
deep, transforming insight.
One of the most explicit teachings of the steps on the path of
enlightenment available, explained by a skilled Western teacher,
"The Jewel Tree of Tibet" will enable you to honor the full
subtlety and hidden depths of the Tibetan Buddhist path and realize
at last its deeper rewards -- for yourself and others.
