Counsels from My Heart is one of the few volumes of teachings by Dudjom Rinpoche, a legendary meditation master of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, to become available in English. It features talks to students presented in Dudjom Rinpoche's characteristically incisive and direct style, bringing the timeless heart-counsels of this great teacher vividly to life.

Critic reviews

“This book embodies lineage. If one can see past the culture and environment, one is given the original map to liberation. As Dudjom Rinpoche himself says, 'This advice is the very blood of my heart. Hold it close and never let it go.'” (Ordinary Mind)

“Renowned Tibetan Buddhist master H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche offers Dharma teachings drawn from an array of subjects. Sharp, forthright, direct—this work is a treasure of heart advice.” (Tricycle)

I thought this compilation was great. There's also this profound section on the bardo after death that was explained extremely well.

Very good and sweet

The content is authentic, unsurpassable Buddhadharma. The translation is reputable, and the teachings are direct and profound. Unfortunately, the narration is ridiculous. I can forgive the mispronunciations of specialized terms, but the overly dramatic and pseudo-Shakespearean enunciations and dramatizations are ludicrous and distracting. If I were at a dinner theatre watching a campy farce of "The Taming of the Shrew," this diction and rhythm might be suitable, but it is borderline disrespectful for this level of Dharma teaching. It makes me wonder if anyone listened to this before publishing.

Content is exceptional, narration is absurd.
