The following is taken from the book 'Awakening the Buddha Within - Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World' by Lama Surya Das. It has become one of my favourite books, and I would strongly recommend you buy a copy. Lama Surya Das is the most highly trained American Lama in the Tibetan tradition and presents a comprehensive book full of wisdom.
