This concluding volume provides a comprehensive overview of the Nyingma path of Tibetan Buddhism and is presented together with a detailed commentary by Kangyur Rinpoche.
The section on the tantras is a compendious presentation of all-important issues: lineage, empowerment, the generation and perfection stages, and samaya. The section on the Great Perfection is arranged according to the classification of Ground, Path, and Result, and gives an extremely clear introduction to the doctrinal background that underpins the practice of this unique system.RelatedCheck items to add to the cart orAuthor BioRigdzin Jigme Lingpa (1730–1798) was a great master of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
