Description
The book of the venerable Khenpo Karthar is an introduction to Tibetan Buddhism of the Kagyu tradition. It discusses the three paths or "vehicles" of Buddhist teaching: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Since its first publication, The Paths of Dharma has quietly gained a reputation as one of the most useful texts on the foundations of Tibetan Buddhism. Khenpo Karthar assumes that the reader has no practical experience with Buddhism and is unfamiliar with Buddhist terminology, and step by step introduces them to Buddhist ways of working with deep emotional patterns, anxiety, and frustration, as well as developing love and compassion for sentient beings and the profound methods of Vajrayana. He briefly and succinctly explains the Four Noble Truths, taking refuge, and the individual stages of the Buddhist path, and provides clear instructions for practicing shamatha meditation ("calm abiding meditation"). After each chapter, there is a section of questions and answers, covering the most common issues of practice and straightforward, clear explanations.
