Beschreibung
To Dispel the Misery of the World is among the best translations of early Tibetan texts in English. Fluid and accessible, with informative notes and an introduction to the little-known fifteenth-century author, this wellspring of Dharma will delight readers of any tradition or of no tradition. Translated under the guidance of Sogyal Rinpoche by Rigpa Translations, this work was recommended by the late Khenpo Appey Rinpoche, who believed its simple yet powerful instructions were exactly what was needed by people in the world today.
