This commentary on Padampa Sangye's classic verses of advice to Tibetan villagers of Tingri by renowned and beloved meditation master Dilgo Khyentse offers guidance for people trying to lead a dharmic life in the workaday world. These hundred verses, studies for centuries by Tibetans and students of Buddhism, contain a complete survey of the Tibetan Buddhist path. Dilgo Khyentse's lively explication of each stanza brings to light subtleties and amplifies the richness of the words and their pertinence to our lives. These two venerable teachers advise us in relating to everyday difficulties such as loneliness, craving, family squabbles, competition in business, disagreements with neighbors, and betrayal by friends as challenging to us as they have been to meditators for centuries.
