Download On the Path to Enlightenment: Heart Advice From the Great Tibetan Masters AudioBook Free
Khyentse Rinpoche motivated Matthieu Ricard to produce this anthology by informing him that "whenever we come to understand the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also notice that each of them lead to the same goal without contradicting one another, we think, 'Only ignorance may lead us to look at a sectarian view.'" Ricard has decided on and translated some of the most profound and inspiring teachings from across these traditions. The decided on teachings are taken from the resources of the traditions, like the Buddha himself, Nagarjuna, Expert Rinpoche, Atisha, Shantideva, and Asanga; from great experts of days gone by, including Thogme Zangpo, the Fifth Dalai Lama, Milarepa, Longchenpa, and Sakya Pandita; and from modern day masters, like the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche. They addresses such topics as the type of your brain; the foundations of taking refuge, making altruistic compassion, acquiring merit, and following a teacher; view, deep breathing, and action; and how to remove hurdles and make improvement on the path.
