This profoundly clear presentation of the core of Tibetan Buddhism offers authentic guidance for Buddhist practice and living a deeply meaningful life. Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a highly trained and qualified teacher, here offers teachings and practices that are as relevant to experienced Buddhist practitioners as they are to those who want to know how Buddhism might inform and benefit their lives. These timeless teachings will show you how to cultivate a kind mind (bodhichitta), handle difficult emotions in relationships, receive guided mindfulness and awareness practices from a teacher, meditate on love and forgiveness, engage in breathing practice, and prepare for life's most monumental moment---including death, rebirth, and maybe even enlightenment.
