An anthology of the most inspiring and instructive texts on spiritual enlightenment from great Tibetan masters-handpicked by a best-selling author and Tibetan Buddhist monk
Buddhist monkMatthieuRicardhas selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from the eight traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. The selected teachings are from the Buddha himself,Nagarjuna, GuruRinpoche,Atisha,Shantideva, andAsanga; the great masters of the past,ThogmeZangpo, the FifthDalaiLama,Milarepa,Longchenpa, andSakyaPandita; and contemporary masters, including the FourteenthDalaiLama andMingyurRinpoche. The teachings address such topics as-
.The nature of the mind
.The foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher
.View, meditation, and action
.How to remove obstacles and make progress on the Buddhist path
Inspired byDilgoKhyentseRinpoche,Ricardcreates his anthology with Khyentse's religious philosophy in mind- "When we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, 'Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'"
