His scope and subtle wisdom depth are profound. He draws upon his theoretical and contemplative training to reveal the actual cause of human fear, anger and alienation--as well as the primary cause of human happiness as taught in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Dzogchen is often considered the highest, most direct Buddhist teaching path, though it requires real preparation. The author clarifies in a practical way how to use Buddhist love and wisdom, with a little Western psychology, to realize both relative and ultimate happiness in our busy lives, not in an idealized future mind state, but here and now. Let this book be a mindful guide to exploration of your own original mind nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable book strikes a fine balance between \"Our two human intelligence dimensions--objective conceptual thought, and subjective spiritual experience...\"Knowing the \"prior unity\" of these two is the \"open secret of human happiness\".
