Critics Review
“Kensur Lekden was one of the bright stars in the firmanent of Tibetan Buddhism during the last generation of great lamas to be trained in Tibet. The meditations contained in this book represent clear and compelling instructions from an accomplished master on how to set out on the Bodhisattva path.” - Donald S. Lopez.
Kensur Lekden
Lekden embodied the total involvement of the mind as taught in the Mahayana tradition. His blend of compassion, wisdom and wit is most striking in the teachings. He was the Abbot of the Tantric College of Lower Lhasa prior to the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Renowned among the Tibetans as a great teacher, in this work he highlights the incisive and direct approach of mind transformation that runs contrary to the ordinary worldly perspective. he knew the meaning of applying the great teachings as precepts for practical application.
