This review is from: Everyday Consciousness and Primordial Awareness (Hardcover)

Although it doesn't indicate it anywhere here or on the Snow Lion website, this is a reprint of "Everyday Consciousness And Buddha Awakening" not a new book. I'm glad I did the research before buying the same thing twice. Really, it should say so somewhere. http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Consciousness-Buddha-Awakening-RinpochefKhenchenT/dp/1559391707

5.0 out of 5 stars Philosophy, spirituality and psychology blend in a fine 'how to' new age survey., June 9, 2007

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everyday Consciousness and Primordial Awareness (Hardcover)

Susanne Schefczyk edits and translates a fine introduction to Buddhist psychology perfect for even general collections seeking an easy beginner's guide. All the basics for successful meditation practice are here, with Rinpoche describing how consciousness operates in daily perception and how the five primordial wisdoms of the five Buddha families are expressed. Philosophy, spirituality and psychology blend in a fine 'how to' new age survey.
