Pithy Advice

Khyentse Rinpoche's commentary on already pithy advice is wonderful. This is a book that can be read in small doses, and picked up at any point throughout. I was looking for a book on Buddhism to take with me traveling and I found it!

Remind me of the truth.

It may be true that the concepts presented by Dilgo Khentyse Rinpoche in this jewel of a book are not new, but they are so enriching for us. Rinpoche gives us jewel-like nuggets in short sections for easy access when we need refreshing and reminding. His presentation is simple, kind and as deep as the well of life. A gift from a master to bring us back to the truth.

The farewell teachings of Padampa Sangye - A gem

"Rely upon that most sublime companion, primordial awareness wisdom, People of Tingri, from which you never can be parted." The following review, which I read on namsebangdzo.com, is unmatched, and speaks for itself: "These are the farewell teachings of Padampa Sangye [master of Machik Labdron, founder of the Chod of Mahamudra], explained by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. "The Indian yogi and spiritual master Padampa Sangye was a great traveler. Chronicles say that he crossed the Nepal-Tibet border in 1091. Having remained ten years in Tibet, he traveled for twelve years in China, and returned to the Land of Snow until his death. Before passing away at Tingri in 1117, as a last teaching, he gave these Hundred Verses of Spiritual Advice to the People of Tingri. Soon after, he said" "My mind has blended with the phenomenal world," thus showing that all dual perceptions had disappeared from his mind. He then fixed his gaze on the sky and passed away. "Each of these verses is generously commented by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991) in a most lucid and direct way, showing that the "people of Tingri" are none other than all seekers of truth. With great love, but without any concession, Khyentse Rinpoche gives us a magnificent teaching on how to turn our thoughts to what truly matters in life, practice with our whole being, and discover the ultimate nature of mind." "As parents, all beings in these six realms have cared for you; People of Tingri, don't relate to them with your ideas of "I" and "mine"." I cherish this book as the sincere parting advice of a "dear friend", now deceased. I highly recommend it as a source of inspiration for all "seekers of truth"! "If you aspire to happiness in the future, accept your present trials, People of Tingri - then Buddhahood is right here just beside you."
