Venerable Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche
Returns to Dallas June 3-8, 2004
Books on Tibetan Buddhist Study and Practice
Please Note:
The only readings recommended as a supplement to the June teachings of
Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche are: Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche and
A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life: (Bodhicaryavatara) by Santideva.
However, many individuals enjoy reading immensely and ask for book lists.
The books listed below will be helpful to anyone interested in integrating spiritual practice and compassion into daily living.
Read as many, or none, as time and interest permit!
While intellectual understanding is helpful and academic study is good - the most important
factors for those interested in spiritual development are an open heart and a personal and
experiential spiritual practice which leads to developing more compassion and wisdom; and
produces positive changes in oneself and in relationships with family, friends and the world in general.
