"Is there something wrong with our knowledge?" With this provocative question, Tarthang Tulku opens up a penetrating examination of the nature of knowledge, the conditioning of experience, and the fundamental operations of mind that limit our potential as human beings. Knowledge of Freedom engages the reader in a direct, personal inquiry into the human situation that encourages the questioning of all aspects of experience. We discover that the knowledge that binds us can also be the knowledge that opens the path to freedom.
Tarthang Tulku, Rinpoche is Buddhist teacher born in Eastern Tibet in 1935. He left Tibet for exile in India in 1958.
