The work is devoted to a practical description of the stages of the path and awakening, and is also designed to dispel the many erroneous ideas about Buddhism that exist among many contemporaries.Any Buddhist teachings and traditions are rooted in the Buddha himself and therefore cannot be false. The authors describe how these teachings and ideas can be put into practice in order to achieve liberation and true awakening.The book is voiced by the editor of the Russian edition of Shramanera Lobsang Tenpa.
