Synopsis

Nyingma master Zhechen Gyaltsab's commentary on the twelfth-century text, the Seven Essentials of Self-Mastery, is now available in English. This powerful introduction to the heart of Buddhist practice presents the Tong Len (unconditional giving and taking on the suffering of others) system of developing the mind of enlightenment. Focusing on compassion and applying it to all activities, this rigorous yet joyous training has long been central to all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Zhechen Gyaltsab's illuminating explanation of each precept shows exactly how to put it into practice. Reflections by Tarthang Tulku introduce each of Zhechen Gyaltsab's thirty-four chapters, illuminating the relevance of these ancient teachings to modern life. A Four-Month Program of Study and Practice prepared by Tarthang Tulku supports readers in practicing these teachings on their own and implementing their benefits directly in daily life.
