Reviews

A treasure of insightReview by Marcus Prade
Quality
Being a Dharma student and teacher for many years I find this book an amazing guide for contemplating my own Guru Devotion, ability and wish to work for the Dharma and my relationship with my Sangha friends, both from a students and teachers point of view. Rinpoches speech is - as always - very powerful, direct and helps me personally to come up with my own excuses or inner voices for example with respect to keeping my vows and commitments. If you’ve been into Dharma for a while and you want to go deeper, take more responsibility in your own practice and for spreading Dharma by helping in a centre, I can deeply recommend this special text.
