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

When to become a classic for its lucid revelation of the secrets of the Tibetan

tradition and for the wisdom Geshe Michael Roach evokes.
