How to See Yourself As You Really Are by Jeffrey Hopkins, Dalai Lama XIV

3.0

This was a tough read. It reminded me of being in a 400 level philosophy class. It was worth the slog, though like many readers before me, I did get so confused at one point I considered shelving this one. In the end, perserverance won out and the content finally made sense. I have a new insight not so much into how to see myself, but how to see others.

I'm guessing there are more concise and clear ways to give the same information, but perhaps the process of getting the information is just as useful as the information itself. This is not a good intro to Buddhism, nor is it a good choice for a reluctant reader.
