本書以藏傳佛教修行中極為重要的「四種思惟」為架構，帶領讀者重新看待此生的價值：人身難得、無常必至、輪迴苦、因果不虛。Khandro Rinpoche以清楚而直接的語言，提醒我們反思日常中被浪費的時間與情緒，並指出修行並非逃離世界，而是學會更清明地生活。書中穿插多則觀修練習，引導讀者體會身心所具備的潛能，學習將此生視為一份珍貴的禮物。由於作者熟悉西方文化背景，使本書能自然連結當代生活經驗，讓古老智慧貼近現實。Tenzin Gyatso亦肯定本書對「四種思惟」的詮釋，認為其清新而具現代意義。Using the traditional Tibetan Buddhist framework of the Four Reminders—the preciousness of human birth, the truth of impermanence, the reality of suffering, and the inescapability of karma—Khandro Rinpoche explains why and how we could all better use this short life to pursue a spiritual path and make the world a better place. The book includes contemplative exercises that encourage us to appreciate the tremendous potential of the human body and mind.
