Buddhist teachings provide numerous methods for bringing greater meaning and happiness into our lives and into our relationships with others. In A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche reveals these methods in direct, vibrant, down-to-earth language. At the core of this work lies The Jewel Treasury of Advice, a text composed by Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza (1704–1754), the reincarnation of Drikung Dharmakirti. Khenchen Rinpoche interprets these ancient teachings with compassion, humor, and a keen awareness for their relevance in contemporary Western life. Those who sincerely want to study and practice the Buddha's teachings will find this an indispensable guide.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I am delighted to know that Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen has written A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path. Because it is written in a manner that is easy to understand, it will reach far and wide. This book contains the complete teachings of Buddhism, from the very basic up to the very profound trainings of the Mahayana and Vajrayana systems, including the Six Yogas of Naropa. . . . The practice of all these teachings step-by-step will lead us one day to bear the fruit of complete enlightenment. I therefore thank Khenchen Rinpoche and welcome his light of commentary to illuminate the teachings of our great Lamas making them available to all."—Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang, from the Foreword

"A masterpiece of poetry and a profoundly moving religious instruction . . . [it] indeed encompass[es] the entire path as it is understood in Tibetan Buddhism. . . . The book can be read from start to finish or opened anywhere. The editors have done an excellent job with the book."—Buddhadharma: The Practitioner's Quarterly

"A fresh, intimate, and timely interpretation that will meet the needs of those who want to deepen their practice and understanding of the teachings of the lamas of Tibet. Reading this work is like having a wise, compassionate, and learned teacher at your side one who knows that laughter is an important component of spiritual life. . . . Readers new to Tibetan Buddhism will be aided by the glossary of specialized terms and the descriptions of persons mentioned in the book and will find the annotated bibliography a valuable aid to further study. . . . Th[is] work contains the essence of dharma teachings and goes deep enough to meet the needs of the serious student; it is a highly recommended guide to be kept at one's side and read over and over again."—Spirituality & Health

"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. . . . Invaluable to anyone seeking to better follow, understand, and practice the Buddha's teachings in everyday life."—Library Bookwatch

Excellent Advice for practitioners

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have been a student of Khenchen Rinpoche for years and he has profoundly affected my life with his uncompromising honesty. I will be always be grateful to him. This is the first book of his that I feel really communicates the spirit of his teachings well. This is my second time purchasing the book as I gave the first copy away. This is one I plan to always have a copy of in the library. It is fantastic as a straight read-through or for reference as it easy to use both ways. The book is so direct & straightforward but also comprehensive. This is must have for any student of Khenchen's and great for any serious practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism.

A wonderful book!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2012

I got the text for this book that Kenchen translated years ago,when I was first exploring Buddhism. I loved it so much that I memorized the 103 core verses. This books expands and speaks to us in the terms that Westerners can 'grok'. Khenchen has a great ability to speak to us as he came to the West in the mid 80s, and his understanding and English is excellent.

Excellent modern Buddhist guide

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2014

Great book, which explains 'The Jewel Treasury of Advice' in clear, poignant terms for the modern reader. The book reads like a practical guidebook for the spiritual life, sort of like Proverbs in the Bible. The writing style of the commentaries is at once clear, concise, and of an elevated and inspiring spiritual nature. Many Buddhist works suffer, from the perspective of the western reader, with containing too much cultural or historical jargon that makes it hard to identify with. This book, however, strikes a universal chord that makes it a unique and special contribution to Buddhist literature for the western palette. This is as good a Buddhist book as I have found out there.

When our most meaningful and precious possessions are collected together in a jewel treasury, we cherish it above all other wealth and never tire of looking at it. Like a jewel treasury, this text contains a collection of the most valuable teachings of the Buddha's teachings, beneficial both for those with a general interest in Buddhism and for serious practitioners. Essential teachings have been gathered together here as pieces of advice for daily life and, especially, for the spiritual journey toward enlightenment. It maps out the essential points of both sutra and tantra from beginning to end, from the four foundations to the perfection of buddhahood.

Buddhist teachings provide numerous ideas and methods for bringing greater meaning and happiness to our lives and to our relations with others. In this book we are introduced to these methods through an intimate advice-style commentary in direct, down to earth language. Drawn from The Jewel Treasury of Advice, a root text written over three hundred years ago by the Buddhist master Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche interprets these ancient teachings with compassion, strength of mind, warmth, humor, and a keen awareness for their place and need in contemporary Western life. Buddhist teachings are vibrantly and accessibly conveyed from a modern day master.

Those who sincerely want to study and practice Buddhism will find this an indispensable guide that they can read over and over again.
