| The Most Important Book on Buddha's Path to Enlightenment |
Having had the very good fortune to receive teachings
from every major and many minor Buddhist schools
this simple devotee to the Buddha of Compassion
can concur whole heartedly with His Holiness.
This book is so important,
that I have taken it as my Primary Text
and as such, read it from cover to cover,
Every Single Month.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, wrote this book
from the "Rime" or NON-sectarian approach.
It has something to offer everyone
from wide-eyed beginner to 9th level Bodhisattva!
Too many Americans have gotten distracted
from Buddha's path to enlightenment
by such things as:
Culture, Language, Tradition and Politics.
THIS text was designed to protect the reader
from such foolishness
and keep them alertly aware of what is most important
in their quest to accomplish the path in THIS life!
Many Theravadans and Gelugpas discribe the path of the Sutras
in terms of Renunciation, Compassion and Insight:
Dilgo Khyentse covers these from the perspective
of both a Scholar and a Yogi!
Many Nyingmapas and Kagyupas discribe the path to enlightenment
in terms of View, Meditation and Action
or Ground, Path and Fruition:
both these systems are taught in this text.
Tantra’s path is often described in terms
of Generation, Completion and Mahamudra
or Maha-yoga, Anu-yoga and Dzogchen:
again, both these systems are taught in this text.
While NO substitute for the Blessings, Transmissions
and Explanations of a fully qualified lama;
this book is an indispensable tool
for those who long to accomplish Chenrezig in THIS life time.
I enthusiastically recommend this book to all my students,
and I gently urge you to acquire it, dear reader.
And so it is in the spirit of this book’s
two Bodhichittas of Compassion and Insight
and it’s two Mahamudra's of Sutra and Tantra
that I now wish from the bottom of my heart:
May you dear reader; be happy and healthy,
may you practice skillfully and joyfully,
may you accomplish Chenrezig in THIS life time,
and help many others to do likewise!
Om Mani Padme Hum,
Lama Jigme Gyatso: Rime Manipa Tantrika
from every major and many minor Buddhist schools
this simple devotee to the Buddha of Compassion
can concur whole heartedly with His Holiness.

It has been said by those who know,
that His Holiness, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet
knows a thing or two,
about a thing or two.

as containing ALL the Essential instructions
to accomplish full enlightenment in one life time,
but he goes on to compare it to an elixir for reviving the dead!
This praise is of course referring to
