This book is by a Tibetan lama who spent three decades in
meditation retreat in Tibet and India and then 22 years teaching
Buddhism in Europe. It contains teachings that he considered vital
for treading the Buddhist path to liberation, especially for
westerners, and that he gave again and again to his Western
students. His advice on Buddhist practice is simple and yet
profound; it extends from the basics all the way up to the highest
teaching of Mahamudra. His words are imbued with an authority and
authenticity that comes from having tested these teachings and
practices in the fire of his own extraordinary meditative
experience. There is no dogma or display of rote learning in this
book - everything offered here is heartfelt advice coming from
personal experience and constitutes essential fare for the
practitioner. The outstanding characteristic of the book is its
singular power to inspire the reader to dedicate themselves
seriously to Buddhist practice. It will be helpful to newcomers to
Buddhism who want a practical and authoritative introduction to its
key themes. It will also be of great value to experienced
practitioners who will find in it countless gems of advice to help
them resolve remaining uncertainties about their Dharma practice.
Also included in the book is a lengthy chapter that tells the
fascinating tale of Gendun Rinpoche's life and practice in the
monasteries and mountains of Tibet, his escape to India, his
interactions with the 16th Karmapa, and his powerful impact on his
numerous Western students.
