Comments on the work:

     “As a translator and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist thought, Sonam T. Kazi ranks foremost.  Not only does he capture the spirit of the original text, the warm-heartedness and humor of its author, as well as the latter's profound spiritual realization, but [he] also lets all this come to life in the reader.  Especially impressive is Sonam T. Kazi's . . . deep understanding of the presentation of Buddhism by dPal-sprul Rinpoche—one of the last great teachers in Tibet—as something very much alive.  Sonam T. Kazi's translation-interpretation of a wonderful Tibetan work is a must for every serious student of Buddhist thought and practice.”       —  Herbert V. Guenther, Professor Emeritus of Far Eastern Studies, University of Saskatchewan, Canada

     “This text provides a brief and exceptionally useful synthesis of all the main themes of preliminary Buddhist practice, drawing upon simple stories, direct examinations of the human condition, and famous quotations from Indian and Tibetan root texts to illustrate its points.  It is a valuable addition to the growing corpus of important Tibetan texts that are now available in English.”      — Huston Smith, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Syracuse University; Adjunct Professor, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley

     “This is certainly a beautiful book, the product of a loving attention to every detail  of its production.  In presenting these Buddhist Dharma discourses, the translator chooses fine words of English idiom.”     — Alex Wayman, Professor of Sanskrit, Columbia University

     “Sonam T. Kazi's translation is clear and accurate throughout.  It is evident that he has taken great care to transmit this precious text to the contemporary English-speaking reader in a form that is completely reliable . . . . His work can be recommended without hesitation to all who are interested in the spirit of Tibetan Buddhism and its practice.  The book is attractively produced with eight color plates of Tibetan thankas as an exquisite addition to the charms of the text.”     — Matthew T. Kapstein, Professor, Department of  Religion, Columbia University
