The visionary Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö is a Tibetan Refugee based in Australia, from there he propagates the nonsectarian message of the Jonang Kalachakra tradition by giving teaching all over the world. In this book, he provides us with a view of different traditions and believe system in order to apply the same principle to survive as human beings in a diverse overpopulated world.

I got that book during the 34° Kalachakra Initiation, right after the 15 days of teachings, Rinpoche offer a retreat to those interested into make the Kalachakra Tantra the own Buddhist practice. As well I joined that retreat and am very satisfied by being able to understand a bit more and practice to the benefits of all beings. That book is for me a kind of Bedside book, where I always look to the reflections the Master of the Jonang tradition invite and recommend us to do.
To those who are interested to ready something clear about the different believe systems and traditions, this book is indispesable and need to be studed meticulously regard the rich of details and informations he give to us in a clear and easy to understand way.
