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 toward enlightenment. In �Working with Others,� he describes the direct application of Buddhist teachings to topics as varied as relationships, drinking, children, and money. The Heart of the Buddha reflects Trungpa�s great appreciation for Western culture and deep understanding of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, which enabled him to teach Westerners in an effective, contemporary way.
