These eleventh- and twelfth-century masters were particularly famed for their pithy spiritual sayings that captured essential teachings in digestible bites. In these sayings one unmistakably detects a clear understanding of what comprises a truly happy life, one that is grounded in a deep concern for the welfare of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike the \u003ci\u003eSayings of the Desert Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e, Lao Tzu, or Rumi, the teachings contained in \u003ci\u003eWisdom of the Kadam Masters\u003c\/i\u003e can be approached as a part of the wisdom heritage of mankind, representative of the long history of the long human quest to understand our existence and its meaning.
