Synopsis

Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche has kept the Vajrayana teachings vibrant and alive with his immense wisdom and deep compassion for all living beings. His whole lifes legacy has been to transmit and transplant the dharma, particularly the Vajrayana lineage, into the new frontier of the western world. He has kindly given many teachings on the various Vajrayana subjects contained in this book in order to support and enhance our practice. These teachings illuminate the tantra and open up the meaning so we may access and fully appreciate what would otherwise remain hidden. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
