Based upon the middle section of the Bhavanakrama by Kamalashila, a translation of which is included, this is the most extensive commentary given by the Dalai Lama on this concise but important meditation handbook. It is a favorite text of the Dalai Lama, and he often takes the opportunity to give teachings on it to audiences throughout the world. In his words, \"This text can be like a key that opens the door to all other major Buddhist scriptures.\" Topics include the nature of mind, how to develop compassion and loving-kindness, calm abiding wisdom, and how to establish a union of calm abiding and special insight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51875718103328,"sku":"NEW1559391979","price":23.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61esKCiGy7L.jpg?v=1781752622","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/stages-of-meditation-1559391979","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
