This book represents a significant development in that it is the first of a series of books that examine key tantric deity practices in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. As with Introduction to Tantra, these teachings make relevant and understandable to the Western reader practices once considered secret. The subject of this book is a short deity practice composed by the present Dalai Lama that includes visualizations for enhancing compassion and wisdom, and Lama Yeshe's commentary on this text addresses in detail the subject of mahamudra, the true nature of all phenomena. By drawing examples from daily life and by presenting the mediation practices in an easy-to-follow format, this book will open new doors for countless readers.
