Critics Review
“The Indian mahasiddha Naropa is one of the most influential figures in the history of Vajrayana Buddhism… . The Very Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, our great treasure of wisdom and compassion, holds Naropa’s unbroken lineage. There is no one more qualified than Rinpoche to present this wisdom tradition. Those who haven’t met Naropa can meet the heart essence of his insights and deeds through this book.”—Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, author of Wild Awakening: The Heart of Mahamudra and Dzogchen
“A great book from a consummate teacher. It includes translations of two critically important texts by the great Indian adept Naropa with a masterful oral commentary. Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche reaches the heights of Buddhist philosophy and the profound depths of Mahamudra meditation, all the while providing practical advice and reminding us that ‘while training in a high view, please conduct yourself in accordance with the Dharma.’”—Sarah Harding, translator of Chöd: The Sacred Teachings on Severance
