The Hundred Verses of Advice · Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on What Matters Most

This

commentary on Padampa Sangye's classic verses of advise to Tibetan villagers of

Tingri—by renowned and beloved meditation master Dilgo Khyentse—offers

guidance for people trying to lead a dharmic life in the workaday world. These

hundred verses, studied for centuries by Tibetans and students of Buddhism,

contain a complete survey of the Tibetan Buddhist path. Dilgo Khyentse's lively

explication of each stanza brings to light subtleties and amplifies the

richness of the words and their pertinence to our lives. These two venerable

teachers advise us in relating to everyday difficulties such as loneliness,

craving, family squabbles, competition in business, disagreements with

neighbors, and betrayal by friends—as challenging to us as they have been to

meditators for centuries.
