What would be the practical implications of caring more about
others than about yourself? This is the radical theme of this
extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in
the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here
explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of
the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. In the Mahayana tradition,
those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of
attitude required to develop true compassion are called
bodhisattvas. Their great resolve--to consider others' needs as
paramount, and thus to attain enlightenment for the sake of all
living creatures--carries them beyond the limits imposed by the
illusions of "I" and "mine," culminating in the direct realization
of reality, transcending dualistic notions of self and other. This
classic text presents ways that we can work with our own hearts and
minds, starting wherever we find ourselves now, to unravel our
small-minded preoccupations and discover our own potential for
compassion, love, and wisdom. Many generations of Buddhist
practitioners have been inspired by these teachings, and the great
masters of all traditions have written numerous commentaries. Dilgo
Khyentse's commentary is probably his most extensive recorded
teaching on Mahayana practice.
