Fearless Simplicity is about training in the awakened state of mind, the atmosphere within which all difficulties naturally dissolve. Here, the gifted Tibetan meditation master and author of Carefree Dignity, Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche, in his exceptional and skillful teaching style, guides us through the methods to be at ease with our surroundings and ourselves. He shows us how to de¬velop confidence and be in harmony with every situation as the basis for true compassion and intelligence.
As confidence grows stronger, you find yourself turning into a real warrior — a compassionate bodhisattva warrior. The true bodhi¬sattva spirit grows out of this personal sense of freedom. With this sense of security and freedom, you begin to direct your attention to the needs of others. The compassion expands. This is my point about inner simplicity as the basis for living fearlessly in a complex world. We are now open and spacious and from within that sense of fearless simplicity, you can accommodate all phenomena. You can naturally care for others unpretentiously; no one is a threat any longer.
— Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Tsoknyi Rinpoche speaks to us with an exhilarating freshness, being fully aware of the complexity of modern life and the needs of men and women today. He is gifted with an ability to unravel the most profound of topics in a way that is clear and easy to understand, and as he maps out the teachings, he draws listeners constantly back to their own experience, allowing them to discover the truth of the Dharma within themselves."
—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

A great introduction to Dzogchen with a modern style of writing and explaining, acknowledging the need of a modern audience
A sense of appreciation and spaciousness permeates the book and will inspire to open up
Recommended for everyone who can study and practice Dzogchen without absolutizing its view and perspective which is very accepting and tolerant, while at the same time acknowledging the shortcomings of relative, dualistic practices

Dichotomy to Me

September 21, 2004

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As with many books I read, the first half or so often leaves me cold--a lot of it being a rehash or review of basic concepts etc. This book fits that model. The first 5/8 or so didn't do much for me; I even found it a bit annoying. But, I like to read a book from cover-to-cover and see what it really holds. I'm glad I did. Towards the end of the book, the author provides a step-by-step experiential guide to Trekcho practice with pitfalls, recommendations, etc. The wording is personal, straight-forward, and very clear. He also has a very interesting description of the sky exercise. Thus, I do recommend reading (preferably buying and retaining for reference) this book. Maybe you'll like the 1st part better than I did, who knows?

Great Addition!

If you read one book on Buddhist thought, this is it. It's not a self-help book and could be a difficult read for those who don't have some basic understanding of Buddhist philosophy. If you're new to Buddhist study you might want to start with Tsoknyi Rinpoche's book, "Open Heart, Open Mind" or his brother, Mingyur Rinpoche's, books, "Joy of Living" and "Joyful Wisdom". These are some of the best renderings of Tibetan Buddhist thought around.

A Bit Too Detailed And Technical For Me

April 20, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I never finished it. As do so many, I read a large number of these type of books. And while it's of course totally an idiosyncratic call, I found this book to be too "technical" (not sure that's the right term, too caught up in naming the the various components of the ideology), a bit too historically detailed, so I felt like it got bogged down in it's denseness at the cost of a clear and energizing set of ideas. It felt a little like a text book instead of simply speaking with clarity after having digested the essence of all these different ideas. But again, it's such an idiosyncratic call.
