“The best of Indian, Tibetan, and Western traditions are strung together in this book—a garland of clear jewels that cannot help but reflect the open sky.”

– —Laurie Patton, professor of religion and president, Middlebury College, author of Bringing the Gods to Mind and House Crossing: Poems, and translator of The Bhagavad Gita

“Being Human and Buddha Too contains a lifetime of meditation on our deeply human capacity for contemplation, reflections on our brokenness and wholeness, and insights into the vastness and intimacy of our lives."

– —David Germano, professor of  Tibetan Buddhist studies and executive director of the Contemplative Sciences Center  at the University of Virginia

“Thorough, informative, and written like a narrative from a lifelong friend—Klein weaves theory and storytelling together in a graceful and exciting way. A wonderful collection of ancient voices from India to Tibet, gathered here in the pages to further dissipate the devious myth of separateness.”

– —Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness

“Rarely have I seen such a lucid and compelling account of the seeming paradox of being at the same time human, with all its failings, and a buddha, a fully enlightened being. This is a must for anyone who is interested in Tibetan Buddhism, especially in the key insights of Dzogchen teaching.”

– —Thupten Jinpa, PhD, author and translator of Essential Mind Training and Mind Training: The Great Collection, founder of the  Institute of Tibetan Classics, cofounder and chair of the Compassion Institute

“Being Human and a Buddha Too gives us a wondrous glimpse into the deepest of all Buddhist teachings, demonstrating that each of us—no matter how flawed—can find the path back to wholeness . . . it is not an overstatement to say that Anne Klein’s work might wake you up!”

– —Willa Blythe Baker, founder and spiritual director of the Natural Dharma Fellowship, author of The Wakeful Body: Somatic Mindfulness as a Path to Freedom
