About the author

His Holiness Khyabjé Dilgo Khyentsé Rinpoché (Tib.: དིལ་མགོ་མཁྱེན་བརྩེ། Wylie: dil mgo mkhyen brtse), born Tashi Peljor (བཀྲ་ཤིས་དཔལ་འབྱོར། bkra shis dpal 'byor) and ordained a monk as Jigme Rabsel Dawa Kyenrab Tenpa Dargye (འཇིགས་མེད་ རབ་གསལ་ཟླ་བ་ མཁྱེན་རབ་ བསྟན་པ་དར་རྒྱས། 'jigs med rab gsal zla ba mkhyen rab bstan pa dar rgyas) and later Gyurme Labsum Gyeltsen (འགྱུར་མེད་ ལབ་ སུམ་ རྒྱལ་མཚན། 'gyur med lab sum rgyal mtshan), was a Vajrayana lama and 2nd Supreme Head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism from 1987 until 1991. He was held to be the "mind emanation" of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892). Having escaped Tibet close behind the Dalai Lama, he settled in Bhutan in 1965, where he maintained his primary residence for the rest of his life.

I really loved this book. I think we all must become spiritual revolutionaries. But it is difficult without going to bootcamp. Noah Levine served me as a great boot camp instructor with his lovely little book. I will read it again and again.

An amazing book that contains the precious teachings by Rinpoche, which was extremely beneficial and well explained.

“When a thought arises, we must simply note that it has occurred, while at the same time remembering that it has come from nowhere, dwells nowhere and goes nowhere, leaving no trace of its passage, just as a bird, in its course across the sky, leaves no mark of its flight.” 一Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (The Wish Fulfilling Jewel)
