About the author

Contents

In 1981, His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave a series of lectures at Harvard University which fulfilled magnificently his intention of providing an in-depth introduction to Buddhist theory and practice. The combination of superb intellect, power of exposition, and practical, compassionate implementation that characterize the Dalai Lama's personality highlights these lectures. He covers a spectrum of issues important to anyone concerned about individual and world peace and answers questions that those interested in Buddhism have long hoped to see addressed.

Tenzin Gyatso was born in Amdo, Tibet in 1935 and was recognized as the fourteenth incarnation in the line of Dalai Lamas. Today he is known the world over as a great spiritual teacher, a tireless worker for peace, and a man with a gift for conveying great truths in a manner accessible to all. Since the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959, he has headed the Tibetan government-in-exile from Dharamsala, India.
Jeffrey Hopkins is Associate Professor of Northern Buddhist Studies and Director of the Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Virginia. Professor Hopkins is a well-known author and translator of over a dozen books on Tibetan Buddhism.
