In this masterful translation and commentary on Tokme Zongpo's
Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva, Ken McLeod shines the
light of wisdom on the challenges of contemporary life and
illuminates a path the modern reader can take to freedom, peace and
understanding. Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva is one of
the most revered and loved texts in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
While this text has been translated many times, Ken McLeod's plain
and simple English beautifully reflects the simplicity and
directness of the original Tibetan. McLeod's commentary is full of
striking images, provocative questions and inspiring descriptions
of what it means to be awake and present in your life. Practical
instruction, brief and to the point, is found in each of the verse
commentaries, providing straightforward responses to the question,
"How do I practice this?" McLeod is clearly writing from his own
experience. Yet, instead of anecdotes and personal history, he
challenges the reader to engage various scenarios, and consider how
compassion, clarity, presence and balance could take expression in
his or her life. The book is divide into three parts. The first is
an introduction to the text and to Tokme Zongpo. The second is
McLeod's translation of Tokme Zongpo's Thirty-Seven Practices of a
Bodhisattva. The third section is the main part of the book, a
traditional verse-by-verse commentary. At 184 pages, Reflections on
Silver River is a highly accessible introduction to Tibetan
Buddhist practice as well as a valuable resource for the
experienced practitioner, regardless of his or her tradition of
training.
