"Tantric Practice in Nying-ma offers an all-encompassing presentation of Vajrayana philosophy and practice. . . . The virtue of this work is its technical completeness. There is much here for repeated reading, contemplation, and absorption." —Vajradhatu Sun
"This book presents one of those rare introductions to Tibetan Buddhism which really can be recommended because of the splendid combination of authenticity and clarity." —Tibet Forum
