Buddhism is said to be universal because it transcends all notions
of time and culture. A French shepherd from the Middle Ages can
apply it just as easily as a Singaporean businessman from the
twenty-first century. The Buddha's teachings offer a method for
understanding how to be and how to act-in other words, how to live
our humanity while taking care of ourselves and others. The heroes
referred to in this book are ordinary beings like us who choose to
develop as individuals through their understanding and application
of kindness and compassion. These heroes are bodhisattvas who wish
for all beings to meet with lasting happiness and to experience
protection from all causes for unhappiness. This handbook provides
accessible explanations of what it means to live like a bodhisattva
and offers a series of simple exercises directly related to daily
life. It gives us key points for facing the difficulties we
encounter in a new way and perceiving our lives according to
altruistic values. Born in Tibet in 1949, Lama Jigme Rinpoche grew
up and received his education with the principal teachers of the
Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Sixteenth Karmapa named Lama
Jigme Rinpoche as his official representative and the spiritual
director of Dhagpo Kagyu Ling in France. Ever since, Lama Jigme
Rinpoche has filled this role. Strengthened by many years of
experience in the West, his unique and modern approach renders the
Buddha's millennia-old wisdom accessible and allows students to
apply it concretely in daily twenty-first- century life.
