On the Back:
“Here at last is a crisp new voice in Tibetan Buddhism. There is much food for thought in this short book for Buddhist students and for anyone interested in the ongoing adaptation of traditional Eastern wisdom into postmodern Western settings.” — Publishers Weekly
So you think you’re a Buddhist? Think again.
Tibetan Buddhist master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse challenges common misconceptions, stereotypes, and fantasies about Buddhism. With wit and irony, he urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism — beyond beads, incense, and exotic robes — straight to the heart of what the Buddha actually taught.
Rather than focusing on culture, ritual, or identity, this provocative book examines four essential principles that define a Buddhist worldview. It is both humorous and uncompromising, cutting through spiritual romanticism to clarify what truly matters on the path.
Care of Dharma (Buddhist) Books:
Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
This pre-loved copy carries wisdom and blessings, ready to find a new home with a reader who seeks inspiration and spiritual enrichment.
