For anyone interested in Buddhist practice and philosophy, Turning Confusion into Clarity gives detailed instruction and friendly, inspiring advice for those eager to embark on the Tibetan Buddhist path.

He began his formal monastic studies at the age of eleven and two years later entered his first three-year retreat.
