In the Footstep of the Buddha
In the footstep of the Buddha is a collection of letters written whilst the author was based in Sri Lanka from 1986-90. They describe the phenomenon of ethnic Buddhism, as witnessed during the author's visits to temples and forest hermitages and his meetings with monks, laymen and laywomen in town and country. We learn of the author's practicing and teaching the principles of individual spiritual evolution, and meet the flora and fauna of the lush tropical landscape. We catch occasional glimpses of the civil war that sorely troubled the Island during those years. The author also tells of his visits to India during the same period, and of the new Buddhist Movement unfolding there some forty years after the great Mass Conversion to Buddhism inaugurated by Dr Ambedkar in Nagpur in 1956.

Bringing Buddhism to the West
Londoner Dennis Lingwood realized at the age of 16 that he was a Buddhist. Conscripted during World War II, he went on Army service to India, where he stayed on to become a Buddhist monk with the name Sangharakshita. As hippies flocked eastward in the Sixties, he returned to England to establish the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order.
Stages of Meditation
This book is the Dalai Lama's teachings on how to meditate. It is the most extensive explanation His Holiness has given on a classic meditation handbook by Kamalashila. Practice-oriented Westerners will find this favorite text of the Dalai Lama especially useful. In the Dalai Lama's own words, "This text can be like a key that opens the door to all other major Buddhist scriptures." Accordingly, His Holiness often teaches from it to diverse audiences throughout the world. (Back cover).
