by Kelsang Gyatso

Embora o Tantra seja muito popular, poucas pessoas compreendem seu verdadeiro significado. Este livro representa um marco significativo na revelação dos profundos mistérios do Tantra para o mundo moderno. A partir de sua própria experiência e das obras de Je Tsongkhapa e outros grandes Iogues, Geshe Kelsang apresenta uma explicação abrangente e detalhada das práticas essenciais das quatro classes de Tantra em geral, e dos estágios de geração e conclusão do Tantra Ioga Supremo em particular.

[Rodrigo d'Orey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Difficult read and style of writing I find. Obviously not for the beginner but geared towards existing advanced practitioners of this path. Although I found quite difficult to follow at times I found the types of meditation very interesting and really, really deep. The approach to mantra and meditation in general was like a breath of fresh air. Much learned from.

Rooted in tradition, yet accessible and practical for practitioners of Buddhist tantra. Very clear, and the reader can easily tell that it's written by someone with great knowledge of tantric teachings as well as personal experience of practising them.

I studied this book on Teacher Training Program. There is no substitute for such study.

For those practicing tantra according to the Gelugpa tradition of Tsongkhapa this is a 10 out of 5.
