As with Volume 1, Volume 2 follows the traditional ordering of the individual works in the Khuddaka Nikāya, which makes for a curious, but invigorating collection.

In each case, their biographies (written centuries later by Dharmapāla who had access to sources now lost) lead to verses ascribed to the real individuals on gaining nibbāna. Here are fascinating glimpses of life at the time of the Buddha.

No person today is untouched by what happens in the rest of the world. With this historic development, the Dalai Lama understands that the essential task of humanity is to cultivate peaceful coexistence. But this has long been problematic with religion, and while previous conflicts over religious differences may have been significant, they did not threaten the very survival of humanity. Now, when extremists have access to powerful technologies, a single spark could ignite a powder keg of frightening proportions.

Dzigar Kongtrul met ici à la portée de tous ce thème clé du bouddhisme tibétain : le tséwa. Qu'est-ce que le tséwa ?

Dzigar Kongtrul prend l'amour maternel comme modèle : avant même de savoir qui est ou ce que deviendra le nouveau-né, une mère aime son enfant de façon inconditionnelle. Voilà le mouvement initial du tséwa.
