The books by the Venerable Khenpos are truly gems. They are for me, a beginner, easy to understand and and comprehend. I also find that as I progress with attaining more knowledge of Buddhism, these books become increasingly profound. To quote Albert Schweitzer "From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity." I tend to read them quickly and then I re-read them again, and again, each time saying to myself, humm, I don't remember reading that... this is really good!!!The Khenpos are most loving and sincere teachers. They truly teach from the heart. Simply put, Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche (Author), and his brother, Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche cut out all the fat and leaves the reader with "clear" and "insightful" books on Tibetan Buddhism, for readers and practitioners on many different levels. Highly recommended.
This book is very clear about how to live like a boddhisattva - how to be a good and loving person. For someone new to Tibetan (or Nyingma) Buddhism, this is a wonderful place to start on becoming a better person, opening your heart, and starting to set the groundwork for further (more advanced) practices.
