Home > Buddhist and Meditation Books > Buddhist Books > This Precious Life: Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on the Path To Enlightenment by Khandro Rinpoche Using the traditional Tibetan Buddhist framework of the four reminders, also known as the four thoughts which turn one’s mind to the Dharma, or the four mind-turnings, or the four ordinary preliminaries (the preciousness of human birth, the truth of impermanence, the reality of suffering, and the inescapability of karma), Khandro Rinpoche explains why and how we could all better use this short life to pursue a spiritual path and be of benefit to ourselves and others. She says, “Think of all the time you’ve wasted hesitating or feeling distracted, or expending useless energy feeling jealous or angry, or being selfish. At the time of death, you will look back and it will all seem like a dream.” This book includes contemplative exercises that encourage us to appreciate the tremendous potential of the human body and mind. They focus on how we can see this life as a gift, and how, by achieving peace in our own lives, we can bring a seed of happiness to others.
