Product Description
Product Description
<p style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">What would be the practical implications of caring more about others than about yourself? This is the radical theme of this extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. <p style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">In the Mahayana tradition, those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of attitude required to develop true compassion are called bodhisattvas. Their great resolve—to consider others’ needs as paramount, and thus to attain enlightenment for the sake of all living creatures—carries them beyond the limits imposed by the illusions of “I” and “mine,” culminating in the direct realization of reality, transcending dualistic notions of self and other. <p style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">This classic text presents ways that we can work with our own hearts and minds, starting wherever we find ourselves now, to unravel our small-minded preoccupations and discover our own potential for compassion, love, and wisdom. Many generations of Buddhist practitioners have been inspired by these teachings, and the great masters of all traditions have written numerous commentaries. Dilgo Khyentse’s commentary is probably his most extensive recorded teaching on Mahayana practice.

Dilgo Khyentse's texts are a reminder of the basic abilities you need in life in order for you to be happy. He analyses the negative states of mind it is so easy to be caught up in, with great precision. Great text, highly recommended. The Heart Treasures of the Enlightened Ones is also highly recommended.
The advice given in the book is not just of value for buddhist and boddhisattvas -- it is usable for everyone.

A holy man, a holy teaching . .

Format:Paperback
"What would be the practical implications of caring more about others than about yourself?" This is the best opening to a review I have read. Excellent book to read and reread, good for beginners, straight from the heart, good for advanced practitioners, an antidote to our selfish lifestyles, and a great practice.
Seven Point Mind Training (lojong, tonglen) offers ways to do this . . . Pema Chodron's book "Start Where You Are" is excellent if this book insprires you to get a move on into practice!

enlightening

Format:Paperback
A powerful book that simplifies the deeper complexities of Buddhist thought. While at times the suggestions (of the 37 verses) might seem impractical, they offer truth on a metaphorical level as well. This book will have you thinking long after you close it.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good for begginers and seasoned paractioners of tibetan buddhism. Easy yet profound. It's a transcribing of a compassionate teaching of Dilgo Rinpoche about a condensation in 37 verses of Shantideva's The Way of the Bodhissattva.
