What Makes You Not a Buddhist
What Makes You Not a Buddhist

Challenging misconceptions, Buddhist truths scrutinized.

If you're ready to dig deep and question what you think you know about Buddhism, this book is for you. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse doesn't shy away from poking at the potential superficialities of modern spiritual practices. He invites you, with a blend of humor and bluntness, to strip back the layers to find the true teachings of the Buddha, encouraging a thoughtful and possibly transformative introspection.

Description

An innovative meditation master cuts through common misconceptions about Buddhism, revealing what it truly means to walk the path of the Buddha. Tibetan Buddhist master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse challenges common misconceptions, stereotypes, and fantasies about Buddhism in this book. He reviews the four core truths of the tradition, urging readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism to understand the essence of what the Buddha taught. Khyentse's non-traditional approach to Buddhism will resonate with students of all stripes and those seeking to integrate this ancient tradition into modern life.
