The text he presents here is the Seven Point Mind Training, brought to Tibet by the Indian master Atisha. This teaching is the vey core of the entire practice of Tibetan Buddhism. It condenses the compassionate path to Buddhahood into practical instructions which make use of all the circumstances of everyday life.
Khyentse Rinpoche gave this commentary during his last visit to the West. He speaks frankly from his heart, drawing on his own life-long experience. The fact that Rinpoche has departed from this world adds much poignancy to his words, which many of his students regard as his parting gift.
"This is a book to keep and reread, a book to jolt one out of oneself and back to one's senses." -Tricycle: The Buddhist Review.
