About this listen

Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, ‘Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions. The selected teachings are taken from the sources of the traditions, including the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Guru Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great masters of the past, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from contemporary masters, including the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They address such topics as the nature of the mind; the foundations of taking refuge, generating altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, meditation, and action; and how to remove obstacles and make progress on the path.

this is a great book, and is set out in a distinctive format. the depth of knowledge in this is incredible. this is my forth book on Buddhist teachings, but so far the best. I am so impressed but will have to listen again and again to understand the relationship between the path and my own.

this is a great book, but will have to revisit.

This collection has been put together with great care and devotion. It brings together advice from many great masters. Well read . A book I often return to -as with all teachings it’s our responsibility to reflect and integrate them into our lives. From start to finish inspiring life changing heart advice. Priceless!

It is an interesting topic and I have taken part in teachings by multiple lamas, but the back and forth between author and countless quotes make it exhausting to listen to this audio book.

There are better ways to learn of Buddhism
