This classic guide for the study, practice and realization of Buddhist teachings is one of the most fundamental texts of Tibetan Buddhism. Pabongka Rinpoche, a legendary teacher who died in this century, gave a twenty-four day teaching to a mass gathering of monks and nuns and lay people in 1921 which was a complete synthesis of all the Buddha's teachings. This book is a translation from Tibetan of the notes taken at the actual teaching by Trijang Rinpoche who became the current Dalai Lama's tutor. This book contains most of the famous "teaching" stories of Tibetan Buddhism.
