In his book Ocean of Nectar, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says:
To help us to contemplate the suffering of others, Chandrakirti introduces the analogy of the mechanism of a well.
The plight of living beings in samsara has six points of similarity with the mechanism of a well:
Ocean of Nectar by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche is the first complete explanation in English of the renowned Indian Buddhist Master, Chandrakirti’s Guide to the Middle Way, a precious Mahayana scripture, which to this day is regarded as the principal presentation of Buddha’s profound view of emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality.
With a definitive translation and verse-by-verse commentary, the author reveals this profound meaning to the modern world with utmost clarity, and guides us along the stages of the Bodhisattva path to full enlightenment.
This book is an indispensable guide for the serious practitioner of Mahayana Buddhism.
