Dalai Lama, "The essential teachings, Pearl Editions, Milan 1994

In this book, by 'editing really' summary presents two important contributions of the fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso .

The first, "The Path of the Bodhisattva " is an instruction given to Bodh Gaya in 1974 during initiation un'oceanica of Kalachakra. The Dalai Lama thirty-seven takes its cue from practices of the Bodhisattva , as is shown in a Tibetan text of XIII-XIV century.
Its commentary is an enlightened synthesis of the Mahayana perspective liberation.

The second part of the book is titled "The Key of Madhyamika " and exposes the way of Nagarjuna, the founder of the school just Madhyamika Buddhism, the one who first worked for the doctrine of Sunyata ( the Void).
For the truth is not an original. In fact, this text, entitled " The key to the middle way, " had already been published by the Ubaldini 1976, in a volume that included" The Buddhism of Tibet .

The overall title of the volume we are presenting, "The teachings essential ", is certainly relevant, since, as pointed out in the clear Corrado Think preface" ... the accent falls and falls, according to that wise insistence typical of the great spirituality, on the central themes of the inner journey, of course, in their formulation Mahayana-Vajrayana Buddhist : renunciation, compassion, emptiness "(p. 7).

Lama's reviews - "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu, "The Art of War " Ubaldini Editore, Rome 1990

During the period of the Warring States ( V-III century BC.) , a semi-legendary warrior-philosopher, Sun Tzu , drew up a treaty for the war strategy fortunate to have over the centuries to come.

The first thing that comes to mind before this work so special is that it should be read by contemporary heads of state. " Defeating the enemy without fighting is the highest skill " Taoist strong connotation of these words of Sun Tzu we see in those who, in these dark times again, fail to resolve conflicts between peoples without fall in the agonies of war. In the treatise

Sun Tzu, on the contrary, the intent strikes "estimate", as though the warrior look more like a doctor than an imposition of death. But what leads us to profound reflection and the ability, Taoist - but also a Buddhist - to grasp with a single glance, the two terms of a contradictory phenomenon: cruelty and humanitarian action and peace.
