About the author

H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche (Tib. ལྕགས་མདུད་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་, Wyl. lcags mdud sprul sku), born Padma Gargyi Wangchuk, is held to be the 14th Chagdud incarnation in a line extending from Sherab Gyaltsen, who folded an iron sword into a knot with his bare hands, thus earning the name "Chagdud" or "iron knot." Born to a lama of the Gelug school and a mother from a Sakya family, the 14th Chagdud began his training in the Kagyu school before achieving renown as a master of Dzogchen and teacher of the Nyingma school lineages of Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. One of the first Nyingmapa lamas to settle in the United States, he relocated to Brazil in 1995 and built the first traditional Tibetan temple in South America with his wife Jane Tromge (Chagdud Khadro).

Reviews

[Max Bergmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very interesting introduction to Buddhism. Unfortunately it was written from transcripts of Chagdud Tulku's seminars, leading to it being slightly disorganized and repetitive at times. Still, the vision set out in this book is compelling; it is utopian but still feels like something one can apply in their daily life. I don't personally agree with some of the ideas in this book, but I never once thought it wasn't worth reading.

Um dos melhores livros sobre prática espiritual.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

An incredible, practical and actionable guide to not only ending our own suffering, but to benefit all sentient beings as well. The meditations and practices outlined by this book--if applied--work effectively with the philosophical content of the book to enable the reader to unravel the poisons of his or her mind. I would 10/10 recommend this book to anyone who seeks to become a more loving, more giving, and more peaceful human being. Regardless of your spiritual tradition or lack thereof, this book can imbue any life with more meaning, and confer an expanded toolkit for the application higher values to daily life.

a nice antidote to Sam Harris' antipathy. phew. here's the love.
very helpful and practical examples of bodhisattva path in modern daily life.
good meditations and the questions and answers address very real places where i and many of us get caught in the world and concepts, i think. this man's compassion is inspiring and daunting.
