Principles Of Buddhist Tantra: A Commentary On Choje Ngawang Palden's Illumination Of The Tantric Tradition: The Principles Of The Grounds And Paths

Book Summary


Before his death a few years ago, Kirti Tsenshap Rinpoche was a renowned teacher of Tibetan Buddhism who traveled widely. Revered as a teacher by even the Dalai Lama, he was known especially as a master of Buddhist tantra, and the teachings in this book are a singular record of his deep learning in that field. Originally delivered in California to a group of Western students, these teachings comment on a 19th-century introduction to tantra by the Mongolian lama Losang Palden. Rinpoche explains the distinctive features of the four classes of tantra - action tantra, performance tantra, yoga tantra, and highest yoga tantra - by describing the way one progresses through their paths and levels. Finally, he gives a special treatment of the unique methods of Kalachakra tantra.
