Schmerz, Liebe, offene Weite

Possessions and success, beauty and joy, but also being with loved ones - all this has to be let go at some point. And that hurts a lot. According to the great Tibetan master Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, to be on the path of the Buddha means to really let go of this pain of impermanence in order to reach through it the realization of the true nature of all being. He who does not avoid pain, but develops love and compassion for all suffering beings, including himself, can step by step reach the open expanse of the mind - true joy. Vividly - as if we were sitting in a circle of listeners - Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche conveys what it means today to walk the Buddhist path of awakening and joy. A book that has inspired many Hollywood stars, and which, with its very personal and humorous presentation, appeals especially to younger people on the spiritual path.
