A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BUDDHIST PATH
(By Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen)
(By Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen)
With great and thorough attention paid to Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza’s written work, The Jewel Treasury of Advice, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen provides a concise but complete guide to the Buddhist Dharma in his presentation of A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path. The author of this book gives a complete understanding of Buddhism’s most profound knowledge while he takes us from the birth of Buddhism (Prince Siddhartha’s acquiring sublime Dharma) to the full and vast elaboration of the practice of Dharma—what its entire significance and teachings hold to all Buddhists and to all of humanity. Each verse taken from The Jewel Treasury of Advice has a direct connotation with all the realistic, simple, but profound significances of the purpose of each human being on our planet. Living day by day without fear, living with no such isolation from the spiritual world, and, finding causes as well as true meanings to one’s purpose on this planet are all but pure and selfless addresses depicted from A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path. This book sheds light to the broad and in-depth significations of what human beings should truly adapt to. It indicates with a firm and specific goal that there is more to life’s cause of being beside all the riches and materialistic pleasures and desires which surround a human being in his daily life. A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path strikes as being a book that attracts its audience with all the proverbs, sayings and main introductory verses which are displayed at the beginning of each chapter.

Gyaltshen’s A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path provides a very profound and
in-depth approach to Buddhist literature with such simplicity and such modesty
that it gains great momentum in the realm of all the many faculties affecting
humankind in his day to day living. A
Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path
brings great meanings to humanity’s purpose and cause of being in our world. It also provides symbolic and direct understanding of the purpose of the human body which every human
being is wearing very cherishingly. Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen sheds new lights
to the subject taken up by Drikung Bhande Dharmaradza from the latter's The Jewel Treasury of Advice. Both of them have so
immensely worked in portraying the purpose of being human with such meaningful
and worthwhile writings. This book brings so much light to the mere
reader: a strong, a very intense and profound spiritual connection with the
Buddha in the within is sensed. All
the littlest fragments of the book have such crucial significances to serve as the
ultimate purposes for all of humankind and what the latter is bound to abide by and
live with as he tags along with daily life and day to day living. A Complete
Guide to the Buddhist Path is not only a book which inspires a man, it
doesn’t simply motivate its readers, but it creates a profound and direct
impact on each and every one of its readers with such intensity and tremendous
spiritual knowledge that it forces a human being to live in a world filled with
selflessness, modesty and compassion. I think that with such a book in the
market, the quest for all the reasons of us being humans, and our search for solving the true mysteries behind our wearing this human body, will
first and foremost result in our acquiring bright and illuminated solutions
to problematic and obscure pathways featuring in our lives. Thus, Khenchen Konchog
Gyaltshen’s A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path promotes us to devoting
ourselves to much endeavoured actions towards our neighbours and close ones so
that we may live for the solemn purpose of bettering every human being’s existence on
our planet.
