Rather, this is a look at the very heart of Buddhism through some of the Dalai Lama's favorite teachings and texts. I think someone new to the subject will have so much more of a *feeling* about how Buddhism can transform the mind in such a positive and beautiful way. The four noble truths here come alive, not a flat depressing list but as a framework where things like karma and "dependent arising" come into focus in a very clear way. The next section, on one of the great short texts on training to generate the "mind of enlightenment" and the insight that sees what reality really is, is one of my favorite teachings. And the final section is based on Atisha's work that illustrates the essential points and stages of attaining Buddhahood. I have read lots on these topics before, but somehow the clarity of this presentation really hit home. Its was also nice to have a book that I could get through in a weekend. Review: Thoughtful and Provocative - A thought provoking book that offers information for contemplation and the opportunity to deepen an understanding of emptiness. A path towards wisdom and growth is offered. Thank you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #637,182 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Dalai Lama #157 in Tibetan Buddhism (Books) #389 in Buddhist Rituals & Practice (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (628) | | Dimensions | 5.51 x 0.39 x 8.46 inches | | Edition | Standard Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1559394757 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1559394758 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Core Teachings of Dalai Lama | | Print length | 136 pages | | Publication date | July 17, 2018 | | Publisher | Shambhala | ## Images ![An Introduction to Buddhism (Core Teachings of Dalai Lama) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yaO+mIKzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Introductions *by P***9 on August 22, 2018* This book surprised me as it is not a survey of the ABCs of Buddhism which so many intros try to provide yet often fall flat while doing so.

A path towards wisdom and growth is offered. Thank you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Newbies and long time practitioners need this book! *by M***É on May 2, 2019* Definitely not an easy or light read, but for those interested in the basics of buddhism, this is a must have. A short book, but one that you need to take your time with. Great, clear explanations and important concepts one needs to consider if serious about the Buddhist path. ## Frequently Bought Together - An Introduction to Buddhism (Core Teachings of Dalai Lama) - The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation - The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/150381330-an-introduction-to-buddhism-core-teachings-of-dalai-lama](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/150381330-an-introduction-to-buddhism-core-teachings-of-dalai-lama) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
