Ju Mipham Rinpoche (1846–1912) was a revered master of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and a key figure in the Ri-me (non-sectarian) movement in Tibet. His commentary on Maitreya's work has been taught extensively by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, who emphasizes its pivotal importance in understanding and practicing Buddhist wisdom.

This translation, skillfully rendered by Jim Scott, a long-time student of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, brings Mipham's teachings to life for English-speaking readers. Jim Scott, who lives in Denmark, translated this work at the request and under the guidance of his teacher, making it accessible to a global audience.
