For the past thirty years the Dalai Lama has consistently recommended
Shantideva's A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life as essential
reading for those interested in applying Buddhist philosophy to daily
life. In Enlightenment to Go, David Michie provides a lively and
accessible guide to "the best of" Shantideva. Sharing his enthusiasm for
Shantideva's radical insights, life-changing psychological tools and
transcendent wisdom, he draws on a wide variety of scientific
sources--from mindfulness training to cognitive behaviour therapy, from
neuropsychology to quantum physics--to show how Shantideva's Guide is
as relevant as ever.
Whether you are a newcomer to Buddhism or a seasoned practitioner,
Enlightenment to Go offers a glimpse of a radiantly different
reality--and a beautiful illumination of why the Dalai Lama recommends
Shantideva's Guide above all others.
"The compassionate wisdom of Shantideva is brought alive in this
practical and helpful guide." --Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Tibetan Buddhist
nun
