Critics Review

“This treatise is important for understanding the development of Tibetan Mahamudra teachings in their emphasis on emptiness, the true nature of mind, and the importance of meditation in coming to realize emptiness.”–Publishers Weekly “Khenchen Thrangu’s work is distinctive because of the clarity and vividness of his religious thought.”–Library Journal
