Lama Surya Das: Schlepping Towards Enlightenment

A Jewish lama from New York gives us a modern American update on the Eastern spiritual wisdom to which he has dedicated his life since the sixties. His gentle humor and sincerity sparkle through the hard reminders that "if it doesn't show up in life as common-sense, as sagacity, as sanity, what good is it?" He emphasizes "bringing the dharma home" to our daily life, so that whatever our spiritual belief or practice may be, it will be relevant "through and through our whole life." A worthy challenge calling us back to truth and integrity in everyday life. "If it's not here," asks Surya Das, "where would it be?" Now available as Hay House Tape

He is founder of the Dzogchen Foundation in Cambridge, MA, and author of The Snow Lion's Turquoise Mane (HarperCollins) and co-author of Natural Great Perfection (Snow Lion) and Awakening the Buddha Within: Timeless Teachings from Tibet (Bantam Doubleday). Now available as Hay House Tape and Letting Go of the Person You Used To Be: Lessons on Changes, Loss, and Spiritual Transformation (Broadway 2003).
