A direct, pithy, and accessible guide to the entire path of Tibetan Buddhism by one of the most beloved and respected contemporary lamas

Accessible, playful, and genuine, this concise guide shows how we can incorporate our own daily experiences into our spiritual path and awaken to how things truly are. By embracing sadness, love, and openness in our lives, we develop an altruistic attitude to help all beings who suffer and to reduce our own greed and aggression.

Through knowing our own true nature as aware and compassionate, we can progress, step-by-step, on the Buddhist path and use Rinpoche's pithy wisdom along the way as a touchstone.

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's fresh and engaged approach to timeless Buddhist wisdom enables us to deeply connect with authentic teachings in a modern context. This work is a delight and inspiration to read, outlining the major teachings and practices of Buddhism in a succinct way.

Quite short but helpful

Interesting , wise, helpful, but a bit too short … I would have like it to be longer.

wonderful teaching for this life!

Wonderful reading by Richard Gere of a remarkably succinct Buddhist instruction by Chokyi Nyma Rinpoche! Important! I listened to most of it in one sitting.

All of the Best!

I am so grateful this book was produced in audio format. I hope to listen a thousand times. If your mind wanders for just a moment you've already dropped a pearl or two! Narration is top notch!

Essential Listening

Every bit of this book is important. If one wishes to get real, face themselves and make a fundamental change in life this book is a perfect road map. Not necessarily and easy path to take but clearly marked for an intrepid seeker. Worth listening to many times.
