Viac o knihe

Writing to encourage a dear friend to practice the Dharma, the great Mahayana master Nagarjuna offers concise and common-sense instructions on how to begin training oneself in ethics, meditation, and wisdom in Letter to a Friend (Suhrllekha). Lama Mipham's commentary, composed for his own students in the nineteenth century, expands each point with memorable examples and provides an analytical outline of the text. Excellent introduction to the Buddhist path for lay Dharma students. Translated by L. Kawamura. Includes an essay on the literature on the Letter to a Friend, a line index in Tibetan transliteration, glossary of Tibetan terms, analyses by Lama Mipham and Sakya Pandita.
