Hidden Treasure of the Profound Path: A Word-by-Word Commentary on the Kalachakra Preliminary Practices, Shar Kentrul Jamphel Lodro Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist Rime Institute, Paperback, 2017, 417 Pages, $20.00

Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoche spent the first 20 years of his life herding yak and chanting mantras on the plateaus of Tibet. Inspired by the bodhisattvas, he left his family to study in a variety of monasteries under the guidance of over twenty-five masters in all the Tibetan buddhist traditions. Due to his non-sectarian approach, he earned himself the title of Rime (unbiased) Master and was identified as the reincarnation of the famous Kalachakra Master Ngawang Chozin Gyatso. His previous reincarnations appeared three times in Eastern Tibet as Washul Lhazu Lama, Trulku Ngawang and Getse Khentrul. Khentrul Rinpoche is considered the 7th emanation of Bodhisattva Akasagarbha.

While at the core of his teachings is the recognition that there is great value in the diversity of all spiritual traditions found in this world; he focuses on the Jonang-Shambhala tradition. Thought to be extinct by many Western scholars, he found it held the most advanced teachings of Kalachakra (wheel of time) containing profound methods to harmonize our external environment with the inner world of body and mind. Since 2014, he has travelled to more than thirty countries guiding
