Geshe Kelsang Gyatso was born in Tibet and is a fully accomplished meditation master, and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism. Resident in the West since 1977, he is the author of 21 highly acclaimed books that transmit perfectly the ancient wisdom of Buddhism to our modern world. He has also founded over 1200 Kadampa Meditation Centers and groups throughout the world.
Understanding Tibetan Buddhism is not always easy for the non-Tibetan, despite the popularity and moral authority of the Dalai Lama. Tibetan monk Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has proven a popular and accessible authority on the spirituality of Buddhist Tibet, and his newest work is intended as a practical guide to transforming one's life by understanding the nature of love and managing one's anger. Included also are translations of two important texts from the Kadampa tradition: Advice from Atisha's Heart and Je Tsongkhapa's Three Principal Aspects of the Faith. Gyatso's book is a worthy addition to the growing body of treatments of Tibetan Buddhism for a Western audience and should find a readership where books on Tibet and the Dalai Lama are popular. For most collections. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
