 Rating: - Wonderful book! Zach Larson has allowed us to dive knee-deep into the truly wonderful wisdom and spiritual teachings of Chatral Rinpoche. I am deeply impressed by the purely spectacular lessons of this book. It's a must read! -Matt Kline Rating: - I Love This Book!I've read many dharma books in the last few years, and this is one of my two favorites. Chatral Rinpoche is an amazing teacher, one whose impact on the Buddhist world will be felt for many generations to come. I knew very little about him before, but after reading COMPASSIONATE ACTION I now have profound respect for him and the good work he does for all living beings. Zach Larson has done a wonderful job editing the book. It's clear and concise, and full of great stories about Rinpoche's life and times. There are also many photos of Rinpoche, his family, and other eminent teachers. Included in the text of the book are several teachings given by Rinpoche that I found deeply moving. I highly recommend COMPASSIONATE ... Read More: Rating:  - understandable and importantAs a new Buddhist practitioner, though in the Nichiren tradition, not the Nyingma tradition of Chatral Rinpoche, I am in a process of reading the works of many revered Buddhist teachers and practitioners. Compassionate Action by Chatral Rinpoche, and edited by Zach Larson, provides wonderful insight into the diversity of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition through a series of essays, interviews, prayers and photographs. I read it cover to cover on a flight from New York to Chicago. The highlight of Compassionate Action for me was his explanation of one of his most well known actions. He releases 70 truckloads of fish from the market in Calcutta annually, an action that allows the live caught fish to re-enter life with a greater possibility ...

Presenting Chatral Rinpoche's biography and autobiography, six of his essays, five prayers that he wrote, an exclusive interview, and color photographs from the different phases of his life, Compassionate Action is a "must-read" for anyone seeking to learn from this quintessential wise and holy man. "Conscious abstention from hunting and killing living beings, besides inspiring others to do the same, are actions behooving the kind-hearted and pious. For instance, the milk of human kindness requires us to not harm migratory ... Read More: Rating: - This book will enlighten and inspire you.Chatral Rinpoche is truly a living Buddha, one of the greatest masters of all time. He is the Vajra Regent of three major lineages of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism--Dudjom Tersar, Longchen Nyinthig, and Sera Khandro. He rescues the lives of millions of animals each year and has been a vegetarian for 50 years, epitomizing the Bodhisattva ideal. This collection of his teachings, life story, and photos is priceless. The book starts out with a comprehensive recounting of his amazing life. In the 1940's, he was the head spiritual master of Regent Reting, the political leader of Tibet. He came to Bhutan in 1958 and started many retreat centers throughout the Himalayas. In 1968, he met Father Thomas Merton, who famously remarked that ... Read More: |
