Timeless Wisdom,

This review is from: Zurchungpa's Testament (Hardcover)
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche teaching on Zurchungpa's Eighty Chapters of Personal Advice was his last communication with the public before he left planet Earth. The eighty Chapters are broken into the following categories:
1. Faith 2. Discipline 3. Concentration 4. Wisdom 5. Conclusion There are precious gems on every page and the 17 page Glossary is very helpful. If this is your first book by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche then you are in for a pleasant surprise. This book is easy to read but the 400 pages will take some time to read, think and assimilate the information. A great experience - a blessing just to read the words. I highly recommend this book. PKC.

superb advice,
By E. Featherstone "EFS" (Ithaca, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zurchungpa's Testament (Hardcover)
if you were ever looking for answers to your questions about Buddhist practice, or, if you wanted to know how to think about things in a way that would reduce harm and suffering, this ancient text with modern commentary by the great master Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche is outstanding. the breadth of knowledge, scholarly and practical, that he displays is so inspiring. the translation by Padmakara Translation Group is commendable. makes one want to be a better person just by reading it.

One of the best available.,
This review is from: Zurchungpa's Testament (Hardcover)
Zurchungpa's Testament is easily one of the best books on Tibetan Buddhism I have ever read! The root text is accompanied by two brilliant commentaries that make the path of Tibetan Buddhism accessible and practical. If you are interested in Tibetan Buddhism you should read it and if you are a practitioner it should be required reading.
