This collection of teachings presents the traditional wisdom of the Vajrayana path. It is a brilliant guide to the spiritual path ~ simple yet profound, intimate and immediate. H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche taught widely for many years in the West and addressed the questions of students grappling with the challenges, concerns, and skepticism encountered in genuine spiritual practice. These questions, as well as Rinpoche's incisive responses, are presented in conjunction with an indepth presentation of the philosophy and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Rinpoche established many centers for the study and practice of Vajrayana Buddhism. His main centers are Chagdud Gonpa Rigdzin Ling in Junction City, California, and Chagdud Gonpa Khadro Ling in Três Coroas, Brazil.
