    This Is A Gem: Is It the Sole Panacea?
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2015*

Here is an opportunity to experience the levels of Buddhism’s teachings starting with the ritual of a short prayer, progressing to the most profound beliefs, the mundane to the sublime. Savor that difference between the common meaning and the uncommon meaning both found in the forward at page xiii, and then follow the author’s commentary expounding and clarifying them. This profundity centers on the Dzogchen approach including appearances, non-duality and not self.Eternalism and nihilism are quickly dispatched, straw men who fall at the hand of Norbu’s pen. Siva and Vishnu are fascinating stories but no more than that, then the Jains, Brahma, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity draw little more than mention, all dispatched in the first chapter. Scientific materialism as nihilism is the target of chapter two and portrayed as a sand castle, it the practice of “children blowing bubbles in the air and trying to catch these rainbow-colored bubbles with their hands.”The author then turns his attention to straw dogs within Buddhism itself, holding them to the mirror of the Buddha’s actual teachings as he discusses the great iconic figures of the tradition, pointing out their qualities as guidelines for each of us. He goes on to explain body, speech and mind are the vehicles of awakening. It is mind that draws most of his attention. Here condensed into a fraction of most treatise on just one of the many topics covered, is a work of great depth, worth any serious student of Buddhism’s careful attention. This is after all the sole panacea.

    It's not just a commentary
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2018*

This is a very interesting book. But the actual commentary on the Seven-Line Prayer is the smallest part of the book. A lot of philosophical stuff comes before that and I think it is not that necessary for understanding the commentary. Of course everything Thinley Norbu writes here is extremely profound and valuable but maybe it's not the specific interest of the reader who bought it thinking it would be a simple reading on this beautiful prayer!
