Garden (the): A Parable

Author: Roach, Michael

Book Description
With The Garden, centuries of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom are brought to life for readers by one of its greatest Western teachers, Michael Roach. Through a parable in which a young man is brought into a mystical garden by a beautiful embodiment of Wisdom, Roach presents the pantheon of great Tibetan teachers. The nameless seeker lured to the garden meets the dominant historical figures who have contributed fundamental teachings to Tibetan Buddhism, such as Tsong Khapa, the first Dalai Lama, and Master Kamalashila. Unique among works of Buddhism now available, The Garden is destined to become a classic for its lucid revelation of the secrets of the Tibetan tradition and for the wisdom Geshe Michael Roach evokes.

About the Author
MICHAEL ROACH is a fully ordained Buddhist monk who received his geshe (doctor of philosophy) degree from Sera Mey Monastery in India after twenty-two years of study. A teacher of Buddhism since 1981, he is also a scholar of Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Russian, and has translated numerous works. Geshe Roach received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and worked in New York City as a director of a large diamond firm for many years. He founded and directs the Asian Classics Institute, the Asian Classics Input Project, and has been active in the restoration of Sera Mey Monastery. Roach's other Doubleday title, The Diamond Cutter, goes on sale in February 2000. He lives in New York City. Columbia University Professor ROBERT THURMAN, who has written the foreword to THE GARDEN, has been called the "Billy Graham of American Buddhism" and the "Dharma warrior." A friend of both the Dalai Lama and actor Richard Gere, Thurman has gone from being a mediator, to a scholar, to a celebrity, as he has spread the word about Buddhism to Americans.
