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.

The best audio book on Tibetan Buddhism I have ever listened to! Powerful, lively, engaging, inspiring.

October 14, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The best audio book on Tibetan Buddhism I have ever listened to! Not necessarily for beginners, but maybe if you are really want to engage Tibetan Buddhism and practice Very inspiring, engage the visualization process and you may be pleasantly surprised with just how powerful it is. Robert Thurman presents in an organized but free flowing spoken word kind of way, and I must say his delivery not only inspires, it is also fun, enlightening, and memorable.

If you are looking for a dry academic lecture on the Jewel Tree of Tibet I would look elsewhere. If you want to be inspired to practice and live fiercely for the benefit of yourself and others then buy the audio book for The Jewel Tree of Tibet!!! (I don't think there is anyway reading this in a book format could compare to the audio version).

Wonderful book. Beautiful meditations to help you expand love for yourself and others. Practical aid for meditation and a true blessing. Written by one of America's jewels--a humble, beautiful mind and outstanding scholar of Buddhism. Treat yourself. Written by popular demand after a blessed retreat which was recorded using the material.

Lamrim Chenpo at its best.

This is such a great CD. It is the book in a retreat. It is so very good, there are somethings closer to the end you still might need more teaching about. I listened to each CD over and over until I understood some of the "object" of conversation better. He is so clear and accessible to anyone regardless of religion, this will be of use to you. It has move my own practice closer to concepts I was struggling with. I first got the book and the discussion about past and future lives, and how something cannot go into nothing is so logical and brilliant I searched high and low for an audio book so I could listen in the car repeatedly. I bought 4 copies to give to friends. I could not part with my copy.
