Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye
Translation: Sarah Harding
This is Jamgön Kongtrul’s well-known and probably most useful instruction on the daily practice of Severance (see A Concise Daily Practice of Offering One's Body), written at the behest of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. It has been translated several times, with the title rendered variously as “Grove of Delights,” “Garden of All Joy,” “Garden of Pleasures,” and so forth. It is also the basis of many oral commentaries by great contemporary masters such as Venerable Tenga Rinpoche, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, and so on. Indeed, the text is concise and yet thoroughly informative; one might almost call it user-friendly.
