Khandro Rinpoche : This Precious Life (TB)

The popular female Tibetan teacher Khandro Rinpoche explains how we can cultivate wisdom and compassion to make the most of our lives. The head of a nunnery in India, Khandro Rinpoche is the daughter of His Holiness Mindrolling Trichen and is renowned in both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages. Her perspective as a woman and someone who has had the benefits of both a religious upbringing and a modern education brings a unique feminine understanding to the wisdom tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Using the traditional framework of the Four Reminders - the preciousness of human rebirth, the truth of impermanence, the reality of suffering, and the inescapability of karma - she explains why and how we could all better use this short life to make the world a better place. She includes contemplative exercises that encourage us to appreciate the tremendous potential of the human body and mind.
