Counsels from My Heart - 3

Counsels from My Heartis one of the few volumes of Dudjom Rinpoche's teachings ever translated and published. The book features timeless teachings presented in a style that is direct and sharp, bringing this great teacher, who was known for not mincing his words, vividly to life. Topics include: A brief history of Buddhism. A succinct description of the Three Jewels, the three central principles of Buddhism. A description of the notion of the self and how that notion leads to the cyclic state of suffering of all beings. A section introducing the concept of the bardo, or states of mind in between life and death. Many practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism have been waiting for this book-and they will not be disappointed.
