Description

This is the first book from Khandro Rinpoche, an important and exceptional Tibetan teacher. She is a young woman who, though raised in Asia, is fluent in English and well-versed in Western culture - which allows her to translate Tibetan Buddhist wisdom to Westerners with remarkable clarity, authenticity, and immediacy. In This Precious Life, the author explains why and how we could all use this short life to make the world a better place.

Reviews

"The Four Reminders, explained here, form the bedrock of Buddhist practice. Khandro Rinpoche has had the benefit of combining religious upbringing and training with modern education, which lends a refreshing contemporary clarity to her explanation."His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama



"Khandro Rinpoche's teachings on the four elemental realities of our lives offer an inspired and vivid opportunity to connect with the profound simplicity of the Buddha's wisdom."Sakyong Mipham, author of Turning the Mind into an Ally



"This is a gem of a book, and throughout Khandro Rinpoche is uncompromisingly direct in her discussion of topics that are often stumbling blocks for Westerners." Buddhadharma
