Uniting Wisdom and Compassion : Illuminating

Uniting Wisdom and Compassion is a unique presentation of the Buddhist path by Chokyi Dragpa, the foremost Gelug disciple of the famed nineteenth-century Tibetan master Patrul Rinpoche. Its quotations and direct instructions from realized sages of the past reinforce one another, subtly penetrating the mind and preparing it for meditation. This book, while fully accessible to newcomers, is especially powerful for serious, established practitioners.

Chokyi Dragpa was a student of the illustrious master Patrul Rinpoche, a central figure in nineteenth-century Tibet.

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche (1950-) is a renowned contemporary Buddhist teacher who founded and guides Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Kathmandu, Nepal. He is the author of The Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

Heidi I. Koppl has translated for Tibetan lamas in Kathmandu for many years and has a degree in Tibetology from the University of Copenhagen.
