The Journey Of An Enlightened Leader

From a spiritual viewpoint, enlightenment essentially means to know the truth about oneself. Acquiring this truth can be extremely difficult, because one’s sense of self is typically tangled in a history of perceptions, assumptions, beliefs, and emotions that over time may have created a somewhat false sense of self.

More importantly, Bandra points out that these same intangibles are in each one of us.

By focusing on what truly matters, we can all learn to become the kind of leaders we wish we could be. Bandra shows us how to focus on our emotions, passions, trust, and flexibility (among other traits) as we move into new leadership roles.

Poet, scholar, philosopher, and master of Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhism, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche led a life of profound dedication to spiritual enlightenment and teaching. During the final fourteen years of his life his personal assistant was Matthieu Ricard. Together they traveled throughout Tibet, Bhutan, India, and Nepal, returning to the places of Khyentse Rinpoche's youth: his birthplace in Eastern Tibet; the monastery of Shechen which he had entered at the age of eleven; and the retreats where he spent years in meditation and study. At every stop on his journey, Khyentse Rinpoche was welcomed with elaborate ceremonies and outpourings of devotion. Ricard's deeply personal photographs of this journey are enhanced by a biographical narrative that is interspersed with extensive passages from the writings and teachings of Khyentse Rinpoche. Together, these images and texts form an inspiring portrait of one of the great spiritual leaders and teachers of our time. Many masters of Tibetan Buddhism studied with Khyentse Rinpoche, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who regarded him as his principal instructor in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
