Reviews

[Jacques · Rating 5 out of 5]

A clear-cut presentation of a very complex subject

[Frank R. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thorough, overwhelming, but unreadable in a few sittings. I hated the interrupted, extended quotation-prose style of writing. This is great as a sourcebook for esoteric and difficult to translate sutras and tantric terma-texts.

[Jeremy]

More historical than practical.
