Book Summary

As Ch�gyam Trungpa writes in his forword: "It is in the flow of karma that this book materialized in 1959 on the very eve of the destruction of the spiritual land of Tibet. Professor Guenther was instrumental in making available the only commentary and guide in English to the bodhisattva tradition of Tibet, Japan, and China. The book remains the classic text of all Buddhists." About the Author sGam.po.pa, who lived in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, was the organizer of the Kagy� order of Tibetan Buddhism.
