Awakening the Buddha Within : Eight Steps to Enlightenment by Lama Surya Das

Awakening the Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das introduces Buddhist practice for contemporary readers. The Eightfold Path provides a structure for examining wisdom, ethical conduct and meditation.

Stories and practices connect these teachings with compassion, awareness and everyday choices. Suitable for readers approaching Buddhism as well as continuing students, the book presents a path of practice rather than a guaranteed timetable for enlightenment.
