The FIRST BOOK in English by one of the GREATEST MASTERS in the History of Tibetan Buddhism, CHATRUL RINPOCHE, is coming this Spring from Snow Lion Publications.

"Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche is renowned throughout the Tibetan community; a legendary adept, who -- like the great sages and hermits of the past -- has spent much of his life in retreat, practicing meditation and granting teachings only sparingly to a few committed disciples. It is truly wonderful therefore that we now have this precious collection of his teachings and advice capably tranlated into English, enabling many more people to benefit from his boundless wisdom and compassion."

-- Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

"Compassionate Action is a jewel. Chatral Rinpoche's teachings are clear, compassionate and uncompromising. Compassionate Action is essential reading for Tibetan Buddhists, and indeed for Buddhists of all schools."

-- Norm Phelps, author of The Great Compassion: Buddhism and Animal Rights

"Available on March 25, 2007 in the United States, this book will reveal to most Westerners for the first time some of the teachings of the oldest and highest remaining Master of Dzogchen in the world today. The translation is by Zack Larson, a friend of mine that I made in 2004, when I was also able to have my second contact with this Master of Masters, in Parphing, in the mountains south of Kathmandu, Nepal. I highly recommend this work to all practioners."

-- Sapan Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of the Phuntsok Choephel Ling Monastery Project in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, at about 10,000-ft. in Gilpin County.

Zachary Larson, the TRANSLATOR & EDITOR of Chatral Rinpoche's book, has joined us as a HOST on this group. This fine young man (only 28 now ... on April 9, 2007) has had aspirations since the age of 16 to dedicate his energies to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. I, Sapan, met him in 2004 in Kathmandu and Parphing and I felt that all was auspicious at that time. He will introduce himself, and already has, on his PROFILE ... so have a look see!

WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE ZACH HERE WITH US ON CARE2 ... OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY FOR THOSE THAT CARE2 MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
