<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In our day-to-day life situations, we are presented with all kinds of challenges. When we look outside, we find dire situations everywhere in the world affecting people, animals, and our environment. And when we look inside, we find the ups and downs of our physical, mental, and emotional experiences that fluctuate as unpredictably as the stock market. In the midst of all the chaos, it seems difficult to find a peaceful spot or kindness for each other in our lives. The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva presents an alternative way of thinking, of relating to the outer and inner worlds of everyday living. It is a refreshing, revolutionary and radical approach to a life that is worth exploring"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>A fresh translation and commentary to Tibet's most famous text on living like a bodhisattva</b></b> <p/>Who are bodhisattvas and what do they practice? In the fourteenth century, the Tibetan Buddhist master Gyalse Tokmé Zangpo answered these questions in a now classic teaching called the <i>Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva</i>. This text, consisting of inspiring verses distilling the entire Mahayana path of compassion, continues to inspire modern-day Buddhist masters, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama. <p/>One of the most important commentaries on the <i>Thirty-Seven Practices</i> is by the twentieth-century master Dzatrul Ngawang Tenzin Norbu, known as the Buddha of Dza Rongphu, and is translated here along with associated meditation instructions for the first time. Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, who requested this translation by Christopher Stagg, provides an informative overview to the history of the text and commentary, introducing the reader to the world of one of Tibet's most widely studied texts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The<i> Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva</i> is an essential text for anyone who wishes to develop loving-kindness, compassion, and bodhichitta. Pairing this new translation with Dzatrul Ngawang Tenzin Norbu's extensive guide makes this an invaluable book for all who want to study mind training."--Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DZATRUL NGAWANG TENZIN NORBU (1867-1940/42) was an accomplished Tibetan Buddhist master who founded a monastery on the northern slopes of Mount Everest where he lived.
