What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The Three Visions is important to more than just the Sakya tradition, as the teachings within are relevant to Buddhists of all traditions and lineages. A comprehensive synthesis of the views and practices of the Bodhisattva path, it is a definitive handbook that guides a practitioner on the path in a manner that is systematic, succinct, and easy to understand.” —Sakya Jetsun Chimey Luding “I am delighted to see this republished translation of The Three Visions; an important teaching of benefit to all sentient beings.” —His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Sakya “The higher levels of spiritual development depend upon transforming one’s level of perception of reality. When in time the deeper realities present themselves as perceptions or visions, spiritual growth is experienced and is as subjective, personal, and flexible as the perceptions themselves, not as insurmountable as once thought.” —Lama Pema Wangdak, Palden Sakya New Jersey
