The eighth volume in the Dalai Lama’s definitive and bestselling Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, and the second of three focusing on emptiness.In Realizing the Profound View the Dalai Lama presents the analysis and meditations necessary to realize the ultimate nature of reality. With attention to Nagarjuna’s five-point analysis, Candrakirti’s seven-point examination, and Pali suttas, the Dalai Lama leads us to investigate who or what is the person. Are we our body? Our mind? If we are not inherently either of them, how do we exist, and what carries the karma from one life to the next? As we explore these and other fascinating questions, he skillfully guides us along the path, avoiding the chasms of absolutism and nihilism, and introduces us to dependent arising. We find that although all persons and phenomena lack an inherent essence, they do exist dependently. This nominally imputed mere I carries the karmic seeds. We discover that all phenomena exist by being merely designat

Perhaps no other figure of Tibetan Buddhism today is so committed to the contemporary relevance of its traditional views as Lama Zopa. In Dear Lama Zopa, he shares letters from advice-seekers around the globe, each reproduced with his always inspired, often surprising replies. Lama Zopa’s counsel, radical as it may seem, is all about how to handle life’s problems big and small, age-old and modern: from final exams, depression, and eating disorders to jealousy, aging, and loss. The key is to consciously work to perceive our problems differently, and in so doing see that we can be victors, not victims. The result is what Lama Zopa has dedicated his life to: our real, persisting happiness.
