The life and presence of a stupendous human being resonates through the images and text of this beautiful book. I was silenced, spellbound, and gripped page after page -- as though I were a man who has lived all his life in a flat and endless desert and had suddenly awoken one day in a verdant valley surrounded by gargantuan peaks. A welcome valley. One filled with sanity and peace. It was like being struck by warm lightning by the words by the pictures. Try them. Try them in this beautiful tome. Immerse yourself in the exquisite images, for Matthieu Ricard has done a splendid job and given us a priceless gift by his recollections of Dilgo Kyhentse Rinpoche. It is a priceless gift itself to be pointed to an immeasurable treasure. So, this book is not only a veritable treasure map but a glimpse of the treasure itself and a perception of the great heart who has revealed it.
