When the Dalai Lama paid a visit to Emory University, he offered an introductory lecture to Tibetan Buddhism. The lecture is not exactly what you’d normally get in the university classroom. The talk is not entirely linear. And he spends some time speaking in English, then speaks in his native tongue (with the help of an interpreter). But, he can talk about Buddhism with the authority that few authors can, and there’s a reason audiences come to see him in droves.

About 1,000 years ago, the great Indian pandit and yogi, Dipamkara Shrijnana (Atisha), was invited to Tibet to reestablish the Buddhadharma which had been suppressed and corrupted for almost two centuries. One of Atisha's main accomplishments in Tibet was his writing of the seminal text A Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, in which he extracted the essence of all 84,000 teachings of the Buddha and organized them into a clear, steplike arrangement that makes it easy for any individual practitioner to understand and practice the Dharma. This genre of teachings is known as lam-rim, or steps of the path, and forms an essential part of every school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Dalajlama patří k největším duchovním autoritám současnosti. Nuceně pobývá v exilu, a snad právě proto může dobře zprostředkovat učení tibetského buddhismu lidem na Západě. Vnáší jeho myšlenky do kontextu s jinou duchovní tradicí, ale ukazuje je jako univerzálně platné nezávisle na čase a místě. Tato kniha pojednává o tom, že jedním z klíčů k duchovnímu prozření a osvobození je poznání sebe sama - úkol, jehož důležitosti a obtížnosti si byli od antiky vědomi i evropští myslitelé.

He firmly believes that if Buddhism is to have relevance today, it must be flexible and dynamic, able to take in new ideas and adapt to new situations.
