Product Description: Like the two wings of a bird, love and insight work cooperatively to bring about enlightenment, says a fundamental Buddhist teaching. According to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we each possess the ability to achieve happiness and a meaningful life, but the key to realizing that goal is self-knowledge. In How to See Yourself As You Really Are, the world's foremost Buddhist leader and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize shows readers how to recognize and dispel misguided notions of self and embrace the world from a more realistic--and loving--perspective. Step-by-step exercises help readers shatter their false assumptions and ideas and see the world as it actually exists. By directing our attention to the false veneer that so bedazzles our senses and our thoughts, His Holiness sets the stage for discovering the reality behind appearances. But getting past one's misconceptions is only a prelude to.

This was a gift to me by one of my dearest friends. We also started reading it and discussing it together. Once again something came up so we had to pause our diolgue. It is a wonderful book. I did not fully understand the begining until well into the book. I think I will need to go back and reread the beginning. I did not at first see how it connected to the book, but after reading some more I understood it really as justification for why to write the book. As such I now understand how it connects to the book. The book is brilliant in its ability to assist me in seeing myself. Now that I have started going back to temple now would be a good time to start reading it again and begin to apply some of the practical sides of it to meditation. There is great emotion for me attached to this book so I may have to come to it later. With that said, this is a great book and I will come back to it even if I have to come back to it alone.

I guess I have quite the nerve to give the Dalai Lama 3 stars! Look out, Pope, I'll be reviewing your books next.
Truthfully, I just don't accept the logical arguments presented in the book. For example, there is a discussion about whether "I" and the mind/body complex are the same thing. Here's one argument against:
A second problem is that, since mind and body are plural, one person's selves also would have to be manifold.
There are several places where he asserts that a thing that is composed of parts is therefore a plural. That just makes no sense to me. Possibly, that is more of a reflection on me than on the Dalia Lama. However, I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and I just don't agree with the arguments set out in this book.
I gave it 3 stars because giving one star would obviously be bad karma.

Well. There's got to be a Buddhist joke in the fact that I read this in February but forgot to write a review.
I admire the 14th Dalai Lama's skill at explaining complex concepts by starting with simple, observable phenomena that build to more abstract and seemingly inevitable principles. This book is denser than many of his writings. However, I found his analysis and explanations both clear and clarifying, and appreciated the demonstration of the more rigorous, empirically-grounded expression of Buddhist thought. I now have a better understanding of several concepts that I previously could describe but not explore, notably dependent-arising and its relationship to emptiness.
I would recommend others if the reader is looking for a basic volume on Buddhist philosophy or meditation instructions.
