Advice from a Yogi. The urgency of spiritual practice has rarely been so simply and powerfully conveyed as it is in the Hundred Verses of Padampa Sangye. This classic of Tibetan Buddhism is an antidote to the tendency we all have to waste our precious human life. Khenchen Thrangu’s lively commentary on this text unveils its subtlety and amplifies its applicability to our everyday problems, demonstrating how an understanding of the teachings on impermanence are key to working through common difficulties such as loneliness, attachment, betrayal, competitive colleagues, or family quarrels. It speaks to us today as deeply as it did to the people of Dingri, Tibet, to whom it was first addressed a millennium ago.
PADAMPA SANGYE was an 11th century Hindu spiritual master and yogi (also known as Kamalashila) who travelled widely during his lifetime and brought Buddhism originating in India to China and Tibet. Best known as the teacher of Machig Labdron, he is regarded as a lineage guru by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism and has even been declared in the Tibetan tradition to have been the legendary Bodhidharma.
KHENCHEN THRANGU is an eminent teacher of the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He was appointed by the Dalai Lama to be the tutor of His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa and has authored several books, including Pointing Out the Dharmakaya, Everyday Consiousness and Primordial Awareness, and Vivid Awareness.
