The New York Times calls him "America's number one Buddhist." He is the co-founder of Tibet House New York, was the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, and has shared a thirty-five-year friendship with the Dalai Lama. Now, Robert Thurman presents his first completely original book, an introduction to Buddhism and "an inspiring guide to incorporating Buddhist wisdom into daily life" (USA Today). Written with insight, enthusiasm, and impeccable scholarship, Inner Revolution is not only a national bestseller and practical primer on one of the world's most fascinating traditions, but it is also a wide-ranging look at the course of our civilization--and how we can alter it for the better. "Part spiritual memoir, part philosophical treatise and part religious history, Thurman's book is a passionate declaration of the possibilities of renewing the world" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

If you don't want to change your thoughts, don't read

June 15, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Robert Thurman is a Buddhist, he is also someone very enlightened to the facts of what is really wrong with our society and culture. I am a former US Marine who was a strong conservative republican who know is angry at the facts I believed all these years are now bulls*** and I wasted time believing in and chasing after lies. You want to find out the truth, if you can handle it, read this book and discover how to change your life and be really happy for the first time. This book does not cure you problem but it points you towards a path that if you have the balls to take, can help you with anything and everything. This is not a quick fix, fad diet, bulls*** book, this is about changing your life for the best it can possibly be and the only cost is you being happier.

If one seems am understanding of some of the central concepts of Tibetan Buddhism that includes insights into the author's personal experiences as a Buddisy monk before joining the Columbia University faculty then this is the book to read. Thurman was ordained by the dalai Lama before camp;eating his Phd at Harvard. He knows well this subject. The book is especially timely due to the current say of national politics. In a smallish book there is considerable depth. This is a book many politicians should read and allow then Thurman's message to guide their decision making. Understand this is not a political book even though it has contemporary relevance. It is book with a heart with imp;actions for making the world a more humane community.

Inner Revolution as a View beyond Ego

July 14, 2001

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I believe all critic is but a glimpse on how one grasps the world, and in this, I mean we perceive a split image and tainted with our own personal baggage. Some fine things have been said about the author, about politics and about the author's personality, yet very little has been said about the work: the book.
This is perhaps one of the finest books to shed light in the dilema of the individual in a complex social matrix and its struggles to break free and achieve some sort of personal mission or calling. The book makes an excellent bridge, analyzing planetary history, describing moments in which the collective need to create new ways to experience and understand, catapulted the planet into a new frequency of understanding; this described in terms of an Axial period in History. Thurman's ability to describe and phrase the very nature of Ego and what we all have collectively come to call "personality" is fascinating. The importance of this book is in its capacity to present a diagnosis of our era and the very things that have held us back: meaning that human beings have a mission or pursuit, that of being happy, of being a better human being and with this intention he is also saying that we, as a society (and very much so the society in power) have created a fractured and very little avenue for human kind to experience itself in a dimension beyond suffering.
I can not understand why there is criticism on the book being political, since we all respond to structures of rule and power, if the possibility of all beings achieving happiness is not on our politicians agenda, then who are the serving? Whose interest is it?
Inner Revolution is an invitation to remind us of our Human right to achieve happiness for oneself, others and the planet at large. It is a door to glimpse beyond that which we have all in a way forgotten: the freedom to pursue our true nature.

Just when I thought I had read enough of his work to think I understood his perspective... Among other gems, right up front is the most succinct, understandable overview of Buddhism and its relevance for everyone that I've ever read.

Being a Bodhisattva

October 1, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I come from another Buddhist tradition, that of Nichiren, a japanese 13th century monk who focused on the Lotus Sutra. As a branch of Mahayana Buddhism, we have a great deal in common with Thurman's thesis. In our tradition we call this Inner Revolution, the Human Revolution - wherein, an individual can change their own life and those around him/her. We see ourselves as having the Buddha nature within each of us. Personal impowerment is an important factor and communicating this impowerment to others is one of the tenents of our faith "kosen-rufu". Building the Buddhaland.
