In The Heart of the Buddha , the Tibetan meditation master Ch gyam Trungpa presents the basic teachings of Buddhism as they relate to everyday life.
The book is divided into three parts.
In Personal Journey, the author discusses the open, inquisitive, and good-humored qualities of the heart of the Buddha, an enlightened gene that everyone possesses.
In Stages on the Path, he presents the three vehicles--Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana--that carry the Buddhist practitioner towa.
