This collection of fifteen articles and talks by Tulku Thondup constitutes a manual on how to transmute the situations encountered in daily life, whether external or internal, into spiritual disciplines and experiences. Among the topics covered are: * The fundamental principles of Buddhism. * The practice of meditation as a means of arousing compassion. * How suffering can become a more powerful tool than happiness in achieving enlightenment. * The symbolic significance of holy places, temples, statues, books, and other spiritual artifacts.
Enlightened Journey; Buddhist Practice as Daily Life.

I recommend this book for those seeking accurate and true information about Buddhist practice. As a Tulku, or reincarnated teacher, the author presents extremely serious topics in a clear and lucid way. The descriptions of the meditations, states of awareness and the bardo transition are powerful and awe-inspiring. The author has qualities of understanding and compassion, along with a clear embodiment of the subject, that provided me with immediate insights and recognitions of human spiritual experience.
