Synopsis

In this book, two great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries challenge us to critically examine our materialistic preoccupations and think carefully about how we want to spend the rest of our lives. At the same time, they provide practical guidance in following the Buddhist path, starting from the most basic motivation and culminating in the direct experience of reality beyond the reach of conceptual mind.

The root text is a teaching in verse written in the nineteenth century by Patrul Rinpoche, one of the outstanding teachers of his day. In the accompanying commentary, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991)--lineage holder of the Nyingma school and one of the great expounders of the Dharma in Europe and North America--expands upon the text with his characteristic compassion and uncompromising thoroughness. Patrul Rinpoche's fresh and piercing verses combined with Khyentse Rinpoche's down-to-earth comments offer a concise yet complete examination of the Buddhist path.

Synopsis:

This meditation text belongs to the type of Buddhist literature known as "Shastra", a didactic commentary of the teachings of the Buddha. Divided into three sections, the work first deals with the suffering experienced by those immersed in a wordly life of attachment. The second section discusses solutions to this suffering, including various meditation practices. The third section shows how the results of these practices find expression in a daily life free from preoccupation with wordly affairs and in harmony with the teachings. In this edition this text is complemented by a modern commentary.
