Rebel Buddha, is "an extraordinary concise and insightful treatise on Buddhism's relevance, particularly for young people in today's global culture, written by a young Tibetan lama."

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche presents traditional Buddhist philosphy and practice for Generations X and Y in this refreshing new take on Buddhism for modern times. Each of us has an inner rebel, he teaches, and that rebel represents our innate wisdom. The inner rebel is the voice inside that tells us we don't have to conform to the materialistic status quo. If we listen to that voice, we discover the courage to pursue a genuine spiritual life. Pema Chodron says of the book that Ponlop Rinpoche "offers a new vision for the future of Buddhism that is at once shocking and hopeful."
