Now it is wonderful that these teachings are making their way from east to west. Modern Westerners have the education and the inquisitive nature that make them perfect vessels to receive these teachings. They can receive these explanations in all their profundity and use them to analyze reality with all the rigor necessary to gain insight and wisdom.

For this to go well, it is essential that these teachings be presented clearly. To this end, I am delighted that Andy Karr, a learned student of both Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and my own root guru, Khenpo Tsültrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, has written this book that so clearly introduces the main points of Buddhist philosophical inquiry and the key methods for how to contemplate them and gain certainty in them.
