"We are very happy indeed to read all these wonderful tributes to the late 14th Shamar Rinpoche! By reading this book we are deepening our understanding of who Shamar Rinpoche actually was.

This book presents teachings that Shamar Rinpoche gave on buddha nature in Dhagpo Kagyu Ling, France. In a very inspiring way, the author clearly points out what really counts: the heart of awakening is nothing other than our true nature, and therefore all of us, in fact every sentient being, can awaken to their buddha qualities. Shamar Rinpoche bases his explanations on the text "Revealing Buddha Nature" by the 3rd Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje (1284-1339). A translation by the book's translator of the underlying text is also included.

The meditation-recitation of four-armed Chenrezig given here is a particularly effective practice method for human beings. Its lineage originates with the 15th century Tibetan mahasiddha Tangtong Gyalpo, who was Chenrezig himself in human form. It belongs to the gom-loung class, meaning that we may engage in the practice without having first received an empowerment. Though it is quite accessible and easy to follow, this concise form of the Chenrezig meditation-recitation can ultimately lead to the same deep realization and results as far more elaborate Chenrezig practices.
