Why You Are Not a Buddhist

In this book, written in an original and even somewhat provocative style, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, a renowned teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, debunks many misconceptions prevalent in the Buddhist community, outdated stereotypes, and fantasies. With extraordinary power and uniqueness of presentation, he expresses the essence of Buddhism in four simple statements, also known as the Four Seals of Buddhist Perspective, presenting them to the reader as a series of poignant personal questions requiring answers. According to the author, only by giving an affirmative answer to all these questions, saying a clear and unequivocal 'yes', can you rightfully call yourself a Buddhist.
