Traveling the Path of Compassion: A Commentary on The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (Densal Semiannual Publication) Paperback – Coloring Book, June 1, 2009

This is the most concise, clear and realistic comentary to the 37 Pactices, totally suitable for beginners like me. In this modern approach the Karmapa connects the defiance and difficulties of our common daily life with the higer spiritual aim: The Bodhisattva Way of Life. I invite you to enjoy these teaching and mature psychologically and spiritually through them.If you want more extended teachings in this subject I reacomend you to read Dilgo Khyentse's  The Heart of Compassion: The Thirty-seven Verses on the Practice of a Bodhisattva

This commentary does a very good job of discussing how the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Boddhisattva might be applied by non-monastics who seek practical guidance for the challenges faced by laypersons. It is written in a wonderfully simple and straightforward manner. You can almost hear the Karmapa's voice speaking directly to you as you read this commentary, which I intend to return to, time and time again. I didn't want it to end. . . however I believe that this fairly slim book strikes a good balance between the extremes of over-simplifying on the one hand and being too technical or academic on the other hand. Try it, you may like it as well.

The Seventeenth Karmapa demonstrates his deep understanding of The Thirty- Seven Practices of a Boddhisattva as well as his ability to convey this renowned text to the modern era Buddhist practitioner. This text is a complete practice in and of itself useful not only to the followers of the Tibetan Kagyu Lineage, but also to the diverse practitioners of modern Buddhist practitioners. Through his deep understanding of this text, stories, personal anectdotes, humor, Twenty First Century language, he explains the text verse by verse in a manner in which the reader can personally apply the teachings to his or her Buddhist practice and lifestyle. This thin volume will not dissapoint.

Thank you so very much ！

The Karmapa writes with incredible eloquence. He explains the 37 practices very clearly in a way that can be understood by readers from many levels of spiritual understanding. This is a wonderful book that has the power to completely change your life and the lifes of others for the better.

Cleared out so much blurry understanding i used to have about the 37 practices of Boddhisattva.

Can't get enough hours in the day to spend with Tibetan Buddhism, the Karmapa, Dalai Lama, and Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche

Makes everything clear and simple. A must for any buddhist that feels they are far from the achievements of great bodhisattvas. Useful moral advice for anyone else in life's tricky situations (if you don't mind the very buddhist flavour!)
