Are you packed? Are you ready? I am getting SO excited!!!
I could easily go on in this vein, but I am actually writing to give you our recommendations on the best texts/commentaries related to the Dalai Lama's teachings that we hope to attend in Dharamshala.
His Holiness will be teaching on The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva by Thogmed Zangpo.
There are two commentaries on this text that we particularly recommend; the first is by the Dalai Lama himself, and the second is by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, as follows:
Commentary on the Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva
by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
ISBN: 81-85102-97-X
The Heart of Compassion: A Commentary on the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva
by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
ISBN: 978-1-59030-457-0
Both of these books can be purchased on Amazon. There are many, many other commentaries on the 37 Practices but these two stand out to us as being both rich and accessible....
The Heart of Compassion can be easily and quickly ordered, but His Holiness's commentary actually appears to come from small sellers affiliated with Amazon, and can take a long time to arrive.... if you want to have this book, I would suggest that you place your order immediately....
It is easiest to locate the Dalai Lama's text in particular through it's ISBN #..... if you try to access it through title or author, it does not come up readily. I have included ISBN'S for both books just to clarify identification of the correct texts.
Either of these books will make thoughtful reading for the bus or the plane, and hopefully will generate much discussion!
Many Blessings!
