This is a deeply rewarding guide to the subtleties of Buddhist thought and practice. Tarthang Tulku was trained by the greatest teachers of his time. He has lived in the West for more than thirty years, experimenting with ways to transmit the Buddha's teachings in a new world. Here, he shows how to investigate "illusion mind" in daily life and emphasizes the importance of intensive study and practice. Rooted in the tradition and in the Western world view, "Milking the Painted Cow" clarifies subtle issues in the Buddhist teachings and points out traps and pitfalls faced by Westerners as they deepen their connection to the Dharma. Tarthang Tulku emphasizes studying Buddhism in an orderly way grounded in direct personal experience. He explains why he has chosen to train his own students through work as a vehicle for transformation, and suggests specific practices that can make every moment an opportunity for insight.
