Summary
When the Dalai Lama was forced to go into exile in 1959, he could take only a few items with him. Among these cherished belongings was his copy of Tsong-kha-pa’s classic text The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. This text distills all of the essential points of Tibetan Buddhism, clearly unfolding the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment. In 2008, celebrating the long-awaited completion of the English-language translation of The Great Treatise, the Dalai Lama gave a historic six-day teaching at Lehigh University to explain the meaning of this classic text and to underscore its importance. It is the longest teaching that he has ever given to Westerners on just one text, and Westerners have never before had the opportunity to receive such a complete teaching that encompasses the totality of the Buddhist path from the Dalai Lama. From Here to Enlightenment makes the teachings from this momentous event available for a wider audience.

Struggled
I had a really difficult time with this book. I don't know why but this seemed a difficult story to follow and I am not sure I even want to try again. Disappointed

Unbearable
First of all, I find Ballerini’s sanctimonious, preachy tone unbearable.
And then when in Chapter 4 the author says that a good indication of the reality of rebirth is a little girl he once met in India who coukd remember her past life’s parents who had met her in her current existence and recognised her as her daughter… well my heart sunk. Aren’t tibetan budhist monks specially good at sophisticated logical reasoning etc? The absurdity of it all. I find it confusing, one moment he says something really smart and inspiring and the next the stupidest. Damn it, I thought I had found a good source of solid teachings but I will have to keep on looking
