Starting with the four seals and the two truths, His Holiness illuminates key Buddhist ideas, such as dependent arising, emptiness, and karma, to support the reader in engaging with this rich tradition. This second volume in the \u003ci\u003eLibrary of Wisdom and Compassion\u003c\/i\u003e series provides a wealth of reflections on the relationship between a spiritual mentor and student, how to begin a meditation practice, and the relationship between the body and mind.","brand":"Wisdom Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44627147817215,"sku":"9781614295204","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781614295204_s600x595.jpg?v=1776094134","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781614295204","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
