The Jewel Tree of Tibet: The Enlightenment of Tibetan Buddhism

The best audio book on Tibetan Buddhism I have ever listened to! Not necessarily for beginners, but maybe if you are really want to engage Tibetan Buddhism and practice Very inspiring, engage the visualization process and you may be pleasantly surprised with just how powerful it is. Robert Thurman presents in an organized but free flowing spoken word kind of way, and I must say his delivery not only inspires, it is also fun, enlightening, and memorable.If you are looking for a dry academic lecture on the Jewel Tree of Tibet I would look elsewhere. If you want to be inspired to practice and live fiercely for the benefit of yourself and others then buy the audio book for The Jewel Tree of Tibet!!! (I don't think there is anyway reading this in a book format could compare to the audio version).

Wonderful book. Beautiful meditations to help you expand love for yourself and others. Practical aid for meditation and a true blessing. Written by one of America's jewels--a humble, beautiful mind and outstanding scholar of Buddhism. Treat yourself. Written by popular demand after a blessed retreat which was recorded using the material.

Beautifully written book on the topic of compassion. Wonderful stories along with spiritual practices

Thurman is a true asset to the world of thought, scholarship and spirituality. We have much to learn from him.

This is such a great CD. It is the book in a retreat. It is so very good, there are somethings closer to the end you still might need more teaching about. I listened to each CD over and over until I understood some of the "object" of conversation better. He is so clear and accessible to anyone regardless of religion, this will be of use to you. It has move my own practice closer to concepts I was struggling with. I first got the book and the discussion about past and future lives, and how something cannot go into nothing is so logical and brilliant I searched high and low for an audio book so I could listen in the car repeatedly. I bought 4 copies to give to friends. I could not part with my copy.

Beautiful condition when arrived. Looks New! Packed with Great care! Thanks!

Great read!

This series by my mentor, Robert Thurman, has many reflections that will assist in out road to being better beings. Highly recommended!

Robert Thurman's book is written as I would imagine he speaks so you can almost hear his voice when you're reading the book. He repeats things just as he would if he were talking to you, which can be a bit irritating at times but, on the whole, it helps you to absorb what he's saying. He takes the disciplines of Tibetan Buddhism and relates them to western thought. A thought-provoking, interesting and enjoyable book.
