Author, meditation teacher, and poet, Lama Surya Das is the founder
of the Dzogchen Medition
Center and one of the most learned and highly
trained American-born lamas in the Tibetan tradition. In "Buddha Is
As Buddha Does", he addresses just how to cultivate
'bodhicitta', the spirit-engine of enlightenment that allows
human beings to embody and actively practice the Buddha's teaching
while engaged in the real world. Lama Surya Das shows how to actively
practice the ten 'paramitas' which are the transcendental
virtues of daily life: Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Energetic Effort,
meditation, Wisdom, Skillful Means, Higher Aspiration, Powers, and
Pristine Awareness. An important and strongly recommended addition to
personal and community library Buddhist Studies collections, this
superbly recorded, five hour, 4 CD audiobook edition of "Buddha Is
As Buddha Does" also provides contemporary examples of enlightened
action based on the realization of the fundamental Buddhist tenet
regarding the oneness of life.
