Instructions for traversing the entire Vajrayana path to enlightenment from one of Tibet's most famous wandering yogis.Composed by Shabkar at the Cave of Miracles close to Mount Kailash around 1815, this compendium of spiritual instructions is written in the form of questions and answers, alternating verse and prose, between Shabkar and his disciples. It presents the essence of the entire graded path to enlightenment, using Tsongkhapa’s Great Graded Path ( Lam rim chen mo ) as its model. In twenty-three pieces of advice, he explains the need to renounce the world, how to develop genuine compassion, and methods for achieving an undistracted mind that can unite meditation on emptiness with compassion. His nonsectarian approach is evident in his teachings on the nature of mind according to the Mahamudra tradition of Milarepa, his practical explanations of Saraha’s songs of realization, and the attainment of buddhahood without meditation, which draws on the teachings of the Great Perfection, Dzogchen. Shabkar’s style is direct and fresh; his realization infuses his instructions with an authenticity that will continue to inspire Buddhist practitioners for years to come.

Putování povede opět přes Robinsonův ostrov v Atlantiku dále na Dálný východ, přes Čínu a Mongolsko do Ruska a od pobřeží Severního ledového oceánu konečně zpět k jeho blízkým do rodné Anglie. Oba díly nového vydání převyprávěla svěžím stylem do současné češtiny Marie Formáčková. Doprovází je velký počet poutavých ilustrací Jiřího Petráčka.
