Writing to encourage a dear friend to practice the Dharma, the great Mahayana master Nagarjuna offers concise and common-sense instructions on how to begin training oneself in ethics, meditation, and wisdom in Letter to a Friend (Suhrllekha). Lama Mipham's commentary, composed for his own students in the nineteenth century, expands each point with memorable examples and provides an analytical outline of the text. Excellent introduction to the Buddhist path for lay Dharma students. Translated by L. Kawamura. Includes an essay on the literature on the Letter to a Friend, a line index in Tibetan transliteration, glossary of Tibetan terms, analyses by Lama Mipham and Sakya Pandita.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A clear and simple approach to understanding life,
By Michael Crouse (Issaquah, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Golden Zephyr (Tibetan Translations Ser, Vol 4) (Paperback)
In my 30 years of study and research of the great works of Buddhism, I have not found a more direct, simple and reader friendly study of the great tenets of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Mi-Pham a renowned teacher of his age, gave this special study to his regions King. This book lays out the details of how this leader, and each of us, can best deal with the day to day issues of life, love, government and family.It speaks clearly to each of us. If this is the sort of book you enjoy sinking your teeth in, this book in particular will bring you much to ponder, and is one you will want to re-read any number of times.
