Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche (1904-89) was widely acclaimed as one of the greatest living examplars of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of meditative contemplation. A leader of the Shangpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, Kalu Rinpoche traveled extensively throughout Tibet, Bhutan, India, and the West, instructing countless disciples in the esoteric traditions of Dzogchen and Mahamudra.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and a beacon of inspiration for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. He has persistently reached out across religious and political lines and has engaged in dialogue with scientists in his mission to advance peace and understanding in the world. In doing so, he embodies his motto, "My religion is kindness."
An excellent selection of Kalu Rinpoche's teachings.--
"Booknews"
Drawn from the lucid writings and oral presentations of Kalu
Rinpoche, who has been extolled as a beacon of inspiration and
compared by the Dalai Lama to the great Tibetan saint Milarepa,
this remarkable book presents the full range of Buddhist practice
from the basic analysis of the nature of the mind up to its
ultimate refinement in the teachings of the Mahamudra.-- "from the
foreword by the Dalai Lama"
Undoubtedly the best collection of Kalu Rinpoche's teachings. In
perusing these pages, I relived the days when I translated for
Rinpoche, enthralled by his magical blend of anecdotes, crystal
clear explanations, and profound instruction.--Ken McLeod, author
of Wake Up to Your Life
