"Being Human and a Buddha Too gives us a wondrous glimpse into the
deepest of all Buddhist teachings, demonstrating that each of
us--no matter how flawed--can find the path back to wholeness . . .
it is not an overstatement to say that Anne Klein's work might wake
you up!"----Willa Blythe Baker, founder and spiritual director of
the Natural Dharma Fellowship, author of The Wakeful Body: Somatic
Mindfulness as a Path to Freedom
"Being Human and Buddha Too contains a lifetime of meditation on
our deeply human capacity for contemplation, reflections on our
brokenness and wholeness, and insights into the vastness and
intimacy of our lives."----David Germano, professor of Tibetan
Buddhist studies and executive director of the Contemplative
Sciences Center at the University of Virginia
"Rarely have I seen such a lucid and compelling account of the
seeming paradox of being at the same time human, with all its
failings, and a buddha, a fully enlightened being. This is a must
for anyone who is interested in Tibetan Buddhism, especially in the
key insights of Dzogchen teaching."----Thupten Jinpa, PhD, author
and translator of Essential Mind Training and Mind Training: The
Great Collection, founder of the Institute of Tibetan Classics,
cofounder and chair of the Compassion Institute
"The best of Indian, Tibetan, and Western traditions are strung
together in this book--a garland of clear jewels that cannot help
but reflect the open sky."----Laurie Patton, professor of religion
and president, Middlebury College, author of Bringing the Gods to
Mind and House Crossing: Poems, and translator of The Bhagavad
Gita
"Thorough, informative, and written like a narrative from a
lifelong friend--Klein weaves theory and storytelling together in a
graceful and exciting way. A wonderful collection of ancient voices
from India to Tibet, gathered here in the pages to further
dissipate the devious myth of separateness."----Sharon Salzberg,
author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
