Critics Review
“This wonderful book presents the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism in a way that is completely fresh and original while at the same time never losing contact with the traditional sources.”-Pema Ch
“Highly recommended. The Truth of Suffering is based on one of the most fundamental teachings of the Buddhist tradition, the Four Noble Truths. In the Tibetan context, they are occasionally presented in a somewhat dry, scholarly fashion. The presentation here is anything but. This is one of the best Dharma books I have read for some time.”—The Middle Way: Journal of The Buddhist Society (UK)
“This wonderful book presents the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism in a way that is completely fresh and original while at the same time never losing contact with the traditional sources.”—Pema Chödrön
