Ordinary Wisdom: Sakya Pandita's Treasury of Good Advice

A popular guide to the art of living, the Sakya Legshe—or "Treasury of Good Advice"—has been fundamental to the development of Tibetan culture and character. As in Aesop's Fables, Sakya Pandita uses proverbs and stories to address the basic question: "How are we to live peaceably with ourselves and with others?"

This is the only available English translation of the Sakya Legshe—a book that reveals the heart of the Buddhist way of life.
