"Principles of Buddhism" provides the framework for understanding the Buddha Shakyamuni's first and fundamental teaching on the Four Noble Truths, upon which all of his other teachings are based. "Eight Verses on Mind Training" comments on a classic text within the genre of Tibetan spiritual writing known as lojong (literally, "mind-training"). His Holiness often refers to this short work as one of his main sources of inspiration for the practice of compassion. Finally, the Dalai Lama's commentary on Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment discusses one of the most important texts for serious practitioners of Buddhism."--BOOK JACKET.
