His Holiness the Dalai Lama,
José I. Cabezón,
“We all have the same human mind—each and every one of us has the same
potential. Our surroundings and so forth are important, but the nature
of mind itself is more important…
To live a happy and joyful life, we must take care of our minds.”
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
At the heart of this book is The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel of the Oral Tradition,
an accessible and nonsectarian treatise on penetrating the nature of
mind by Khöntön Peljor Lhündrub, a teacher of the Fifth Dalai Lama. His
Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama’s broad-ranging overview of this work
insightfully distills some of the most central themes of Buddhism: why
the mind is so essential to the tradition, what distinguishes the levels
of consciousness, and how different schools of Tibetan Buddhism
elaborate those distinctions. Profound and erudite,
it brings the reader closer to a fresh and direct experience of
Buddhism’s central truths.
Along with his lucid translations, José Cabezón provides an introduction
to the root text and presentations of the life and works of Khöntön
Rinpoché, all richly annotated.
