This unique and fresh presentation of Tibetan Buddhism provides a tool kit for how to be a twenty-first-century Buddhist, whether living in a busy city or a rural hermitage. These teachings go straight to the heart of why a person should bother with a spiritual path in the age of cell phones and shopping malls.

Avikrita Vajra Sakya Rinpoche, a twenty-six-year-old Tibetan lama born in Seattle and now residing in a monastery in the Himalayan foothills, teaches meditation and Buddhist philosophy to people from all over the world. He makes a direct and compelling case for the Buddhist path and offers a clear guide on how to use our own modern life circumstances to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, wisdom, and our own buddha nature.
