A Path of Wisdom offers a simple yet direct view of the Buddhist path according to the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike will find in this book helpful tips and advice that can be applied in everyday life situations. Far from the esoteric jargons of Tibetan Buddhism, here is a practical approach to living with clarity which enables an individual to develop understanding and insight about the self and others. Lama Jigme Rinpoche explains that the key lies in the study and understanding of the essential points taught by the Buddha and the importance of thoroughly integrating those meanings in our daily lives and practice.
Lama Jigme Rinpoche was born in Kham of East Tibet in 1949. He received his Buddhist education and training alongside the main Kagyu lineage teachers. In 1977, during his visit in Europe, the 16th Karmapa declared Dhagpo Kagyu Ling in Dordogne, France as his European seat or headquarters of his activities and appointed Jigme Rinpoche as his official representative and director of Dhagpo. Since then, Jigme Rinpoche has continued to carry out his responsibilities. He also travels to many countries to give teachings. Along with first-hand experience of western societies, Jigme Rinpoche's unique and modern style renders the more than two-thousand-year-old teachings of the Buddha relevant and beneficial in the 21st century.
