The UNM Bookstore invites everyone to attend a book discussion with Amy Schwartz on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 12 to 2 p.m. Schwartz will talk about the book, “Transform Your Life,” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
Understanding Tibetan Buddhism is not always easy for the non-Tibetan, despite the popularity and moral authority of the Dalai Lama. Tibetan monk Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has proven a popular and accessible authority on the spirituality of Buddhist Tibet, and his newest work is intended as a practical guide to transforming one's life by understanding the nature of love and managing one's anger.
Included also are translations of two important texts from the Kadampa tradition: Advice from Atisha's Heart and Je Tsongkhapa's Three Principal Aspects of the Faith.
Gyatso's book is a worthy addition to the growing body of treatments of Tibetan Buddhism for a Western audience and should find a readership where books on Tibet and the Dalai Lama are popular. For most collections.
Your UNM Bookstore on Central Ave. at Cornell Dr. is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Park in Cornell Parking Structure and get validated for up to one hour with purchase.
