Kalu Rinpoche, a lama of the Kagyu Shangpa lineage, was born in Eastern Tibet in 1904. He studied and practiced with many great beings of all traditions before living in solitary retreat for 12 years. One of the first Tibetan masters to teach in the West, he passed away in 1989. Up to now, Kalu Rinpoche`s teachings were only available in fragments. In the three volumes, Excellent Buddhism, Profound Buddhism, and Secret Buddhism, ClearPoint Press offers a complete and precise version of these precious teachings. More than a theoretical treatise, these three books provide the reader with a living, diversified, and often surprising approach to Tibetan Buddhism. Excellent Buddhism contains biographical reminiscences on Kalu Rinpoche, teachings on daily life, inspiring stories on Buddhist practitioners of the past, and reflections on the relationship between Buddhism and the West.
