“Here at last is a crisp new voice in Tibetan Buddhism. There is much food for thought in this short book for Buddhist students and for anyone interested in the ongoing adaptation of traditional Eastern wisdom into postmodern Western settings.”

-Publishers Weekly

S O YOU THINK YOU’RE A BUDDHIST? Think again. Tibetan Buddhist master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, one of the most creative and innovative lamas teaching today, throws down the gauntlet to the Buddhist world, challenging common misconceptions, stereotypes, and fantasies. With wit and irony, Khyentse urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism-beyond the romance with beads, incense, or exotic robes-straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught.

DZONGSAR JAMYANG KHYENTSE is a Tibetan Buddhist lama who travels and teaches internationally. He is the head of the renowned Dzongsar Monastery, Dzongsar College, and Siddhartha’s Intent, and he is the spiritual director of meditation centers in Vancouver, San Francisco, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Taipei. He also wrote and directed the award-winning films The Cup and Travellers and Magicians.
