“Highly recommended. The Truth of Suffering is based on one of the
most fundamental teachings of the Buddhist tradition, the Four
Noble Truths. In the Tibetan context, they are occasionally
presented in a somewhat dry, scholarly fashion. The presentation
here is anything but. This is one of the best Dharma books I have
read for some time.”—The Middle Way: Journal of The Buddhist
Society (UK)
“This wonderful book presents the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism in
a way that is completely fresh and original while at the same time
never losing contact with the traditional sources.”—Pema
Chödrön
“An invaluable resource for anyone seeking the truth. With
disarming honesty and humor, Trungpa Rinpoche guides us through the
Buddha’s teachings, bringing us face to face with our many
misconceptions and our true potential.”—Sharon Salzberg
“Trungpa Rinpoche’s mastery of the dharma reveals within this
apparently simple teaching a ceaseless profundity of
inestimable value for both beginners and advanced
practitioners.”—John Daido Loori “In this book we can hear
Rinpoche’s uncontrived, genuine voice illuminating the fundamental
teachings of Buddhism on the cycle of suffering and freedom from
suffering—profoundly inspiring all of us.”—Tulku Thondup Rinpoche
