A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path lives up to its title by presenting the methods that Buddhism offers for improving the quality of one's life in plain terms accessible to readers of all backgrounds. Constructed around the core of "The Jewel Treasury of Advice", a classic Buddhist text created by Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza (1704-1754), A Complete History of the Buddhist path is invaluable to any seeking to better follow, understand, and practice the Buddha's teachings in everyday life. Highly recommended.

If you are interested in Buddhist practice and study from the very beginning (FOUR THOUGHTS THAT TURN THE MIND-----FOUNDATION PRACTICE FOR BUDDHISM)to the final Heart Advice from Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen, COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BUDDHIST PATH is for you....a great, great teacher.....I so love him....and I so love his teaching, especially when he comes here to Tucson for teachings/practices......The world is very fortunate to have Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen....and his teachings....He wrote this book so that everyone can practice the entire scope of buddhism......from the beginning......

This book truly is a guide to the Buddhist path. It is written in plain, modern English, contains poignant advice for living life in accordance with the Dharma teachings. This is not pie-in-the-sky stuff, nor does it get bogged down in arcane terminology, like some Buddhist texts. The commentary on each paragraph of the original text is about 1.5 pages in length, and is worth its weight in gold. This book has the quality of potentially being life-changing. It provides practical advice on learning to control one's emotions, one's speech, one's actions, and one's entire being, in order to be a better person. Isn't that really what it's all about? This is a great, great book.
