If his father's books are like a Molotov Cocktail, capable of blowing your mind with extraordinary skillful language and profound insight into the specific character of the Western mind, then Mipham's books provide the in-depth and serious settling into the teachings and practices that were introduced a generation before.

Although his father's approach was effective in causing many to suddenly wake up and change course, Mipham provides the patient, applied, and deep transmission that we need to stay the course and follow the path with skill and precision.

This text is perhaps the more profound and detailed discussion of the dignities of the warriorship in the modern world that is available to a general audience. It is beautifully written, extremely personal and direct, patient and disciplined.

Of of the finest texts available by a living teacher.

I've learned from the Rinpoche, now I'm learning from his son. When I encountered Chogyam Trungpa many years ago, he figuratively slapped me in the face. And the cocky, ignorant me at the time deserved the wake-up slapping (and deeply appreciated it). Just a few days ago, I met his son Sakyong Mipham through his latest book. You could imagine Mipham took my hand, led me to the couch, sat next to me, and gently told this old me some more about the wonderful Buddhist wisdom in ways that are both timely and timeless. His expositions of Dharma are effective, yet very few technical terms are used. His explanations are modern and relevant. His persistent, yet loving, effort in helping us break through the illusion of the self pays off quite nicely. Mipham's previous book, Turning The Mind Into An Ally, is great, too, but I find his current one accessible to a broader audience.
