Reviews
The entire book is pretty straightforward and accessible, even with limited knowledge of Buddhist jargon and practice. . . . Overall, this book will be of interest to anyone attracted to Vajrayana Buddhism, as well as those curious about religion, particularly comparative religious philosophy--it is fascinating how similar religions are when stripped of ceremonies and rules and reduced to simple philosophical theories. As such, it's a good read for all those seeking enlightenment, both intellectual and spiritual, via any path. --The Feminist Review The reader will find here in Nyoshul Khenpo's captivating personality and teachings, the embodiment of the advice he quotes from the nineteenth-century master Patrul Rinpoche. --Eastern Horizon
