With humor, authority, warmth and wit, this slim book shows the western world from a Buddhist perspective. Born in Bhutan in 1961, a Tibetan lama and filmmaker (Travellers and Magicians), Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche gives a decidedly modern take on dharma, happiness, suffering and enlightenment.  (TBT96, $14.00)
