How to see yourself as you really are - Bstan-dzin-rgya-mtsho

Full of insights and very practical, this important book by the Dalai
Lama shows that self-knowledge is the key to personal development and
creating positive relationships

How to See Yourself As You Really Are
is based on a fundamental Buddhist belief that love and insight work
together to bring about enlightenment, like two wings of a bird. It
provides a new perspective on the psychological problems of hurting
ourselves through misguided, exaggerated notions of self, others, events
and physical things. It shows how even our senses deceive us, drawing
us into unwise attachments and negative actions that can only come back
to haunt us in the future.

Drawing on wisdom and techniques
refined in Tibetan monasteries for more than a thousand years, and
adopting as its structure traditional Buddhist steps of meditative
reflection, How to See Yourself As You Really Are includes practical exercises and gives readers a clear path to assess their growth and personal development.

The
book is enlivened throughout with warm personal anecdotes and intimate
accounts of the Dalai Lama's experiences as a life-long student, a
meditator, a political leader and an international figure working with
other Nobel Peace Laureates to address crises around the world.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Tibet. Today, he
lives in exile in Northern India and works tirelessly on behalf of the
Tibetan people, as well as travelling the world to give spiritual
teachings to sell-out audiences. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
1989.
