I will not allow myself to judge what content wise but this book is actually a collection of words inviting him to come out of our daily demanding to withdraw in meditation and Buddhist monastic life. Therefore, much of what seems to us or far away bed not at hand and do not meet our expectations. This book is not really philosophical and really fits in religion. I think it is particularly aimed at people who study Buddhism. Some even rewritten in the Tibetan alphabet if I'm not mistaken. Very significant, are included in the annexes for all terms that might pose difficulties and also all the Buddhist precepts.
