One Dharma

the long version

"Joseph Goldstein provides a brief historical overview of early Buddhism and explores the mind-changing reflections that bring us to the Dharma path - the teachings of liberation, free from sectarian attachments. Upon this foundation Goldstein then shows how the great masters from all traditions have pointed to the essence of ultimate freedom. This is the best kind of Dharma book: one that is based on personal experience rather than on theory, accessible to newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike, and rich in practical ways to cultivate the qualities of an awakened mind and heart."--BOOK JACKET.
