Annotation

Through the mists of the ages, the wisdom born within the walls of ancient Nalanda, the cradle of knowledge, where the mind sought enlightenment, echoes. This book is a journey into the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, where the Nalanda Philosophy has been given new life, flourishing in picturesque valleys and impregnable monasteries. The author, a physician and psychologist, reveals to us the innermost secrets of the mind, as they were understood by the great teachers of the past. We will delve into the depths of consciousness, explore the subtle edges of perception, feel the storm of emotions and find the way to inner silence by following the ancient paths laid out by the sages of Nalanda.

The book does not just talk about psychological principles, it invites transformation, opening the gates to understanding yourself and the world through the prism of Buddhist wisdom. It intertwines the threads of ancient texts and the modern understanding of the psyche, creating a mesmerizing canvas that can touch the very depths of the human soul. Open this book and let the wisdom and teachings of the ancient monasteries of Tibet illuminate your path to yourself.
