“The Tibetan Buddhist teachings on the freedom that comes from perceiving the emptiness of all phenomena—teachings known collectively by the name Mahamudra—are presented here with remarkable clarity through commentary on a twelfth-century text. The text is “Gampopa’s Great Teachings to the Assembly,” by Gampopa, the foremost disciple of the legendary figure Milarepa and founder of Tibetan Buddhism’s Kagyu school. The commentary is by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, a contemporary teacher of deep learning and profound practice with a remarkable gift for presenting these traditional teachings in a way that is accessible to Western hearts and minds.” (via Shambhala.com)

This small-size book (4.5×6.5″) begins with a concise elucidation of the Lojong tradition in connection with happiness, the mind, and compassion.
Ringu Tulku writes in a playful, easy-to-follow style that is tailored for Western students of Tibetan Buddhism. Using folksy examples and anecdotes chosen for readers new to the subject, the author brings to life the sometimes difficult classic eleventh-century text by Gampopa, which is a foundational source of study for most practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
