“Door to Inconceivable Wisdom and Compassion” by Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche

Of all the Mahayana Buddhist teachings currently available in the Western hemisphere, none is as seminal as the instruction on Bodhicitta, a Sanskrit term symbolizing the union of loving-kindness, compassion, and the wisdom of ultimate reality.  Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche opens wide “The Door to Inconceivable Wisdom and Compassion” by skillfully presenting a full spectrum of understandings and everyday applications regarding this most powerful, immediate and practical means of spiritual transformation and realization.

Bodhicitta has been variously translated as “the state of pure and total presence,” “the primordial ground of being” and “the mind or heart of awakening.”  As both the foundation and ultimate fruit of the path, the informed practice of bodhicitta merges and empowers the activities of our ordinary body, speech, and mind with the supreme qualities evinced by all the Buddhas.  Both beginners and advanced students of inner transformation will treasure this book for its straightforward explanations and profound insights into the heart of sentient beings, Buddhists practice and Universal Enlightenment.
