Author BioSamuel Bercholz is the founder and editor-in-chief of Shambhala Publications.SHERAB CHÖDZIN KOHN taught Buddhism and meditation for more than thirty years, and he edited a number of the books of his teacher, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa. Coeditor of the bestselling anthology The Buddha and His Teachings, he also published numerous translations, including an acclaimed version of Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha.Praise"This splendid collection of classic and modern Buddhist texts provides insight into the teaching and practice of Buddhism." —Publishers Weekly
"Among many good introductions to Buddhism, this one stands out for seeing to it that its principles and practices are presented—through either translations or original commentaries—by masters who have dedicated their lives to teaching Westerners. The result is a book which, while faithful to the Buddhist tradition, speaks unusually effectively to an English-speaking audience." —Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions
